And the giveaway clue here is gun stock.....
What works on a gun stock may not necessarily work on a musical instrument such as a Guitar...

I know, I know, peeps want fast results.. A sign of the times in which we live. We want it and we want it yesterday.
When building a Guitar, the longer you put into the finish the better. After a good setup, the finish is the next most important thing.
A rushed job will look like crap either straight away or a few years down the track it will start to show.

It may take two months to get a really shmick finish from sanding to buffing. (Fairly certatain that Jarrod takes this long and man, J-rods finishes are spectacular)
Two months on something that if built well will last two maybe three lifetimes.
That makes two months bugga all time, really.
