Here it is after about 10 coats of TO, with a light sand after every fourth. The veneer really is a rough job - it even has chunks missing in places. Fortunately it's not anywhere near as noticeable as it would be on a less figured top.

I did four coats of TO on the neck, sanded back, and then put one more on. I think I'm going to leave it at that, as it feels really smooth and fast.
