I was going to keep the headstock blank but after joking in reply to trv that maybe I should have Patience on the headstock I did a little bit of messing around in Illustrator to mock up what a headstock logo could look like and just printed it on white paper for now. What do you guys think?

Looks great! Maybe the "by M.W." could be a little smaller and "Patience" bigger?? Just my 2 cents, but go with what your heart tells youOriginally Posted by Woltz

Yet another cautionary tale.
I recently bought some Angelus leather dye for my shoes off ebay.
Thought I'd stain it 'Russet' as opposed to the stark white 2 tone.
Here is what 'Russet' looks like out of the bottle.
They were 'sorry' that my choice of colour didn't work out.
cheers, Mark.
Yikes! Cool shoes, butYet another cautionary tale.

Yep that's less than ideal. I don't know much about working with leather but I'm assuming that's not salvageable.Yet another cautionary tale.

Yep that was my thoughts as well. Here is my second design. I think this one looks better than the first.

Agree. Last logo looks great.

Cheers Waz. My waterslide decal paper has arrived so I'll have a look at applying it on Sunday and then I'll stick a couple more coats of tru-oil on the neck over the top before I give it a polish up.

Well this is how I feel as of tonight.....
Talk about a test of perseverance. Anyway I got the wet sanding done (with a couple tiny spots where the wood expanded unfortunately but in spots that'll be hidden), I went 1000, 1500 and then 2000. And I've started polishing. I'm actually using the same applicator pads and meguiar's as a_novice and I'll admit it is hard going when polishing by hand. I still have a lot more to do to get the fine scratches from the 2000 removed but here are a couple of progress shots.
