    Thanks fender 3x. And yes, string intonation does get a bit weird! I have a Fender acoustic - definitely not 648 scale! The high e comes in around 642 mm! I assume it is intonated correctly - maybe I will check.

    Today I have stained the body and neck with FW jarrah stain, diluted to 33%. The binding was taped beforehand, but some stain seeped under the tape.

    Then spent a while scraping the binding! Not my favorite job. I used a safety razor blade clamped in a short length of dowel jig.

    Then gave it all 2 brushed on coats of wipe-on-poly.
