so much work Gav, all worth it, nice

hi guys,

A bit more work on the florentine today. I managed to sand and stain the neck and headstock, as well as scrape the binding's clean of dye and put the first coat of Tru-Oil on the top veneer. Trying to scrape that binding inside the f-holes was a bitch. finally managed it with a small exacto-blade. Fun times.



cheers,
Gav.

looks amazing Gav, well done. You know having a photo with a bottle of tru oil in it will earn you a nice stay in the naughty corner, its getting mighty crowded !

[gavinturner]

Hehe thanks Wokka. I can't help living dangerously .

cheers,
Gav.

Here's another shot sans the Tru-Oil. I think it's a better shot than the previous one - you can see the figure a little better . The colour is very RED isn't it. In real life it's a lot darker than it looks here I promise 8-) . I'll get a photo tomorrow in the sunshine to try and give a true representation.



cheers,
Gav.

terrific job

we've just fit a sunlight in the naughty corner Gav and we ordered a keg of tru oil, so you should be able to get a good photo there. Looking stunning, few more coats of 'clear' should make that grain really pop

Coming together very nicely Gav. That red neck is outrageous. Love it.

@Stan, @Pablo: thanks guys. it's looking better with each new coat of tru-oil. @Wokka: oh wow, finally i get to hang out with the cool kids :P.

cheers,
Gav.

more the merrier in the naughty corner Gav, since it started it's quite decked out now and got enough room to keep building, we've just run out of beer though, please bring a few slabs !
