    Hi,

    Thank you for your kind words. This has been a huge battle. I've learned a lot. I've taken note of your and all other members previous solutions, and I will experiment them all in future buildings. I think that this will help a lot not only on learning new techniques, but materials as well.

    Thank you so much

    Hi,

    Thank you for your kind words,

    It's been a hell of a battle. I think that the best way to know that someone is pleased with your work (my friend only has seen pictures and videos) is when the future owner speaks about your work to a friend, and that friend wants you to build one as well.
    I've recieved that new yesterday... It is going to be a Firebird...

    Once again, thank you so much!

    Looks great. Out of curiosity, was the black stain sanded back before adding the crimson stain?

    Hi,

    Thank you for your feedback.

    First I applied *SS black, then * SS cherry red and *SS crimson red. And finally ** SSS cherry red and **SSS crimson red.

    **************
    Notes:

    *Crimson Guitars Stunning Stains -> SS
    **Crimson Guitars Stunning Stains -> SSS
    ***Crimson Guitars Penetrating Oil -> PO
    ****Crimson Guitars High Build Oil -> HBO
    ***** This applies to both oils, after applying leave to cure/absorve for 5 minutes (dependeds on your weather conditions) and remove the excess

    Looks good......bit of a slight distressed timber appearance under red stain did a great job of disguising all the imperfections.
    Well done.
    Cheers, Waz

    Hi,

    Thank you so much for your words. It's been a hell of a battle... I've described the whole process not only to let you know in detail what I did, but also to have the community feedback / suggestions / improvements.

    Thank you so much!!!
