    Ha Ha nice.

    Well I shall know very soon.....as I just got the email and the order is complete and Aussie Post has the pick up info......woo hoo.

    I am thinking a Colortone Amber finish over the neck.....with maybe some spray satin polyurethane finish all over.

    The body......hmmmmm.....tempted to try and hopefully not fail with a three colour water based stain burst. Yellow/Brown/Red....the U Beaut colours. The body could also then be finished with satin spray poly to complete the effect.

    The wipe on nature of water based stains has never really worked well for me.....maybe this time.

    YouTube here I come.....this guy does a nice finish...he then covered the lot with Tru Oil.
