    Looking great.
    A few more TO coats on front of headstock will help to flatten and hide decal edges. As for applying over binding just beware that initially it will have an off white appearance that will go creamy yellow quite quickly, in say 12 to 24 months if not sooner.
    If unsure of using DT clear top coats I would recommend using TO even though it will add a bit more depth to the red and maybe go a bit darker as it naturally ages.
    Cheers Waz

    Thanks Waz.
    I'm going to go with the tru-oil - maybe the yellowing will give it a vintage look?
