No, Waz. When I buy from O/S, I like to stock up for the future to save on postage and time, although this mob usually only take a week or so to get here from England.Originally Posted by wazkelly

Hand crafting guitars, because Death Rays are expensive.
The first attempt at staining the neck, I mixed metho 25ml to 75ml golden teak. The pic doesn't really show how dark it turned out, but I wasn't happy with it.
I sanded it back and added an extra 150ml of metho to the mix. This was much more to my liking but still very dark in places.
Is it just a matter of sanding the dark areas? I am totally in the dark with this stuff
I'd guess not, I'd say sanding the dark areas will result in a patchy look. If you are after the aged look, I'd go much more dilute. The timber will yellow a fair bit with a gloss clear on it anyway, it won't look white with a clearcoat on it. Particularly if you use a polyurethane.
I'd sand it right back, shouldn't be too hard as you have the rosewood neck, and then restain with a much weaker solution.

First sanding sealer coat applied:
Neck is giving me hell, using a walnut stain/varnish, now:
The body got its second coat of sanding sealer. It's a pity I ruined the string through holes as it is looking nice with just the sanding sealer applied:
The neck, however, is a different story. The walnut stain varnish was a disaster, and sanding it off proved difficult due to it not drying completely. I have resigned myself to live with a linseed oil finish and patchy bits:
120 & 180 grit will get that off the neck.

That's what I used to get it like that, Waz. I'm not game to take any more wood off and I've already applied two coats of linseed oil.
