#Planning 5 String Bass
Mention beer and they come out of the woodwork
I went out this morning to the body only to witness seperation on the small crack i have been trying to repair, so i went and got me a Minwax stick, went and checked before and all good, what a great little touch up tool
heres what i was up against
I have used the stick x2 today on this small spot and 2 other small spots, i will take a pic later when i am finished but the results so far have been very good.
I will take it right back and Timbermate again before i finish the body as this stuff is wax it may not hold the finish unless i clean it right up.

Today after doing some paving i decided to finish the back of the guitar off, pretty happy with it, its not perfect, but then again its not a $3000 guitar, it will do the job and look ok. In hindsite i am too much of a perfectionist with my work and have spent too much time getting the finish right to still end up with a few cosmetic flaws, it wont bother me at the end of the day, i just call them character marks
I had some lighter color stain left over from the back, so decided to attack the neck with it, its lighter than what i will use. Wipe on a a bit of colour tint and you see old Mr Magloo rear his ugly head.
Neck still wet looks orange, now i know how to do an orange if i want haha
Mr MaGloo
Wet stain, its going to look alright i think when i darken it up.

Yeh Wok a dark red mahogany, the headstock has nothing done yet, tossing coins on flat black or the same as the rest of the neck.Originally Posted by wokkaboy
The top i am thinking darkish cherry red in the middle, red mahogany blend in then a black border, might be getting ahead of myself.
Next guitar will be a simple Daphne Blue....
Went to buy some pavers today and went to Carbartec, i was sure they had pavers
Anyway ended up with some bench cookies and XL risers, i have been wanting these for a while, great for doing wiring etc.
Cookies
keeps the guitar nice and stable
Jack her up
50,000k service, already putting these things to good use
And waiting on these Bench Cookie Cones, great for when your doing a finish one side and dont want to damage the other side you've already done, they fit onto the bench cookies
Sorry dear i forgot the pavers

What do you mean, Carbatec dont sell pavers??
There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....

Well i was sure they did, but then again last time i went out for pavers, i couldnt find them at Dan Murphys either <shrugs>
those cookies are a cool idea Tony. Wouldn't want the axe resting on those cone fittings unless they rest in cavities ? Might damage the body
