After 2nd and final intensifying coat. Seems to be good grain filler. I like the differing hues it gives the endgrain.
Heel of neck was a mess. Not flat on mating surface, a bit rounded all round. I partially assembled bridge and outer strings to line it up. Pocket was sloppy but worked out best with neck pushed to bass side. I clamped and glued and used slivers of wood to bridge the small gaps. Not pretty but it's a solid join.
First finish coat. I'm liking Dingotone. Least messy finish I've used and smell no worse than furniture or floor polish. Once it's flashed off I can have it in the living room drying in the evening where the missus would never tolerate a spray finish, so it gets benefit of heater. Its shinier than the Gibson faded finishes. Suits the SG/Junior sort of look I think.
