Neck set up is just about done..
Found a few frets that sat a bit high so being a pedantic bugger (my Miss Fe would say anally retentive) about these things I tried to re seat them..
As it turned out, they would not play ball so I did my favorite thing... Yhep, I ripped 'em all out and re profiled the fret board and re cut the slots...
Then my not so fave thing, I replaced the frets (only because Guitar players have a thing about speed bumps )and now am half way through polishing them.

Now, with the stains there are some things that are beyond my control.
I cannot always guarantee that each batch of stain powders I get will be exactly the same as the previous batch.
How ever, I do try to adjust the mix to match as closely as possible the previous batch.

I now buy my stains by the kilo, so there shouldn't be any issues around differences for a very long time....
