    Looks great. How are you liking the water based poly? Did you thin it at all? Also curious what the woods are that you laminated.

    Thanks Fender3x.
    I am liking the water-based poly. It has very little smell, and easy to clean up! (But I have not sprayed any oil based, except from rattle cans). I have been thinning the poly by 10% (as per instructions) to about 20% (if the mix seems a bit viscous).

    The wood is radiata pine with Jarrah strips. I carefully selected the Jarrah to be quite red (it can vary to a dark brown also). The pine is soft but I like the patterns in it. In fact, I have used pine for my scratch explorer (now 30 years old) and all of my scratch tele builds, and also for lots of the furniture I have made (beds, desks, drawers, shelves).

    The little voices in my head keep telling me "build more guitars"
