My first build is certainly a learning process. Whilst sanding back try-oil blemishes I have managed to sand through both my headstock finish and body back creating a lighter spot. Luckily it is quick sand back, restrain and start tru-oil process again.
Also discovered how thin the binding is on the horns which needed to be touched up with some satin white model enamel.
Off on holiday for a few days which will let the tru-oil harden up nicely ready for applying decals and smoothing the body finish ready for the next 15 or so tru-oil coats. There is quite a bit of grain to file on the front where I (tried to ) remove glue marks that would appear to gave soaked through the veneer and was not removable in the end.
