New photo resizer, old no longer compatible (grumble grumble)
One more coat on the back and I’m ready to let it sit and wait for it’s final polish.
Some things I’ve neglected to mention if anyone’s interested.
This veneer wasn’t too bad for glue spots apart from at the edges.
As already discussed I dug out the central join and replaced with timbermate. The timbermate stained a bit dark but that’s ok. Moving on the the outside edges I coated the binding with poly, and auto tape once the poly was set. The auto tape sits high so I scraped timbermate around the edges and sanded level to the tape. This covered the obvious glue at the edge. The photo is the worst spot, you can just make out staining variation at the inside edge of the timbermate (next to the small light reflection) which I can certainly live with.
Headstock had bit of a twist in it which I hopefully have nullified (enough) by a longer narrower design.
Thanks DM, Simon and FW.
