    @Chips cheers Chips! I'm loving the grain too!
    @Wokka, I think I saw him at my local Bunnings handing out a few fines, looks more busy than the rozzers during the Xmas holidays!!

    Nope, I was a customer at the green shed! Cut a long story short the better half had a girls 'lunch' that went on for 9 hours so I packed the troops off to the green shed (sausage sizzle for lunch). We then sorted out an outdoor wood burning arrangement for the naughty warehouse NSW branch!

    @Stan cheers mate, yeah I can see massive improvements in my building, only can keep getting better!
    @Gav cheers, yeah I'm loving the neck too!

    Ok so another update! Got the body sanded and since I had nothing else to do for the next two hours I thought I might as well start on the grain pop. Will sand back tomorrow (hopefully) and chuck up a few more pics! Also got another coat on the neck and good news that DB will be sending me my Dingotone order soon!!!!

    We have colour!

    So after a bunch of thinking and with the postal service not cooperating very much, I decided to set on a linseed oil finish. This is what it looks like after the first coat which I will let out to dry and the colour will become much more consistent as more coats are applied!

    Just had a read through your build... good job! That's looking great with the filing and carving!

    Why does Aussie Post let you down, though? I've never missed out on a delivery... touch basswood...
