    I’ve not been a fan of working with the Pawlonia, it’s fibrous and pulls under even the sharpest tools, though it does machine reasonably well.

    After slapping on some sanding sealer this afternoon, I may have to review how I go about attacking the final colouring and finish scheme.



    The back doesn’t fare quite as well as it is rather plain to begin with. So it is likely to get the full blackout, but I want to try and leave some of the grain visible through the cutaways, so it may more of a varied edge with the black brown fading in and out.





    Ever so slowly forwards!

    Yers, verily some clean up and re taping before stain, a full sealer sand will be required.
