    wow Grant that burl veneer is going to look fully sick !
    Are you planning natural finish ? No need for stain there are very nice natural colours in the myrtle burl.

    I got some red myrtle veneer at home from memory has a similar colour minus the burl

    nice touch on the headstock Grant, so the exposed part we can see will be shaped maple and the mdf area will be veneer ?

    sounds good Grant, maybe some red or brown stain for the mahogany centre would look the bizz with the burl sides

    So I'm guessing the heat from wax potting doesn't bother the poly, that's why you use it?

    haha i dip my Fender style pickups in Behlen satin poly before i wind them, so you will never get a short wire against the pole.
