Looks a treat, whats that bottle of booze you have lacquered onto the surface

Much to Wokkas dismay it is Great Northern...yep that fine drop from Yatla! I luv it

[tonyw]

IPA drinker mainly these days, before that stouts, but i do love any good craft beer from anywhere in the world.

Hey Andy, still an OK drop for us folk over here probably on way much less coin than our friends in the west who have a taste for things far more exotic.

Gone fishin'

Dear all,

A small weekend opportunity has arisen for me to go fly fishing for the first time since 2013 and without wife or kids!

Therefore, this weekend I am going to be in Ebor chasing rainbow trout and drinking instead of working on my rig (I am awaiting curing time anyway)

There may be fish...there may not be, either way I don't care, its all good times.

I get away from everything and everyone by going metal detecting up in the Golden Triangle, this i can combine with my other love photography, enjoy your free tome mate, guitars can wait.

Hey guys another annoying question. gave the body a buff with the micro mesh pads, came up pretty glassy.

However, the spalted cap, although glassy is quite ripply, probably because i was too shit scared to sand it too much before applying the finish.

Do you think i should slap on more naughty oil to cake up then sand down to flat finish or keep it ripply? I don't want it to look too plasticy but i also don't want it to look half finished.

Wow... Great finish Andy... Nice work mate

[dingobass]

Spalts by nature are ripply, personally I feel if you put too much more gunk on it will end up looking like plastic.
I kinda like the organic quality....
