Tightened budget means the Trem-King will go on long term consideration.
Meanwhile, I've decided to revert to something close to the original idea of finish.
I've thoroughly sanded it back to wood and then applied RIT dye.
Stained the neck with good old F&W Golden Teak (that small bottle has lasted yonks).
I'll then return to using Tru-Oil to finish both neck and body.
The blemishes from previous surgery will have to remain for now.
A Trem-King would have covered them but hey...it was intended as a work-horse. A well-ridden one.
P.S. Not that I visit very often but despite the 'downturn' in the Corona-Virus environment.
Clayton Firearms doesn't seem to be affected.
About half a dozen staff working behind the counter and no shortage of customers.
Bit of a worry to me. (customer beside me was viewing a suspiciously 'military' looking specimen')
