"Blue Heeler" Bondi Blue GR-SF1: Pt1 Aspirations, Procrastinations, and Consequences

[Honkenstein]

The gold hardware will be your saviour on this build as that looks pretty good to me.

Not much blue colour left behind but what it has done makes it look like some aussie bush timber. I would encourage you to keep going with at least 1 more intensifier coat to build a bit more depth and shine.

Cheers, Waz

Thanks again, Waz. Talked me into it. Depth and shine are appealing. May as well use up the rest of the "squid ink in a bottle" too! I'll probably only coat the top but will likely get 2+ more coats with what's left. I'm not sure I'm prepared to go that dark though.

Still, I have to wait days between coats at this stage so there'll be plenty of time to reconsider.

PS - Oh, my! Your TL-1AR GOTM entry and ES-1 Runner-up GOTM are beautiful! Some 40 TO coats on the TL. How much time did that take? (no need to tell) I used to have a Kalamazoo-made 1971(?) ES-355TD-SV. It was too beautiful and I was unworthy. My workmate and I "juggled" it between us. Basically, I bought it off him with the promise to sell it back to him when flush again. The first thing I really heard him play on it was a virtuosic rendition of Hendrix's Little Wing down at Brisbane's "Blue Note Bar" in the late 90's, still in his Blue groove prior to detouring into Jazz. I'd love to hear Ewan sing and play again. Died a couple of years back.
