    Another work build.
    The body is stained with Ubeaut water-based cedar dye (100%), coated with wiped-on tru-oil. I have also added a few sprayed coats of Cabot's water-based gloss polyurethane, 2 burst coats of Cabot's water-based gloss polyurethane with a black stain, and finally 4 coats of Cabot's water-based satin polyurethane. The satin final coats was an experiment to see how satin it ends up! Also, whether the w/b poly can go onto the tru-oil. I also have not polished it.

    The neck was finished with a Cabot's cedar stain and finished with Cabot's water-based satin polyurethane.

    This kit is a mismatch of hardware - Black hardware, but a white pickguard and pups! I'm happy with the white guard on the front, but I think I will change the back cavity plate with a black one when I can source one!
