These quilt veneers are way thinner than the flame ones I've seen. That said, it was way too easy. I sanded gently with 180, raised the grain with a damp cloth, sanded with 240 then with 400. I have a feeling the bad one on the top horn was there before I started.

that orange looks excellent Pabs, can't beat orange and black theme like the hemi Chargers !
@ Andy you would have to sand pretty heavily to sand through a spalted cap are probably 2-3 times thicker than these paper thin quilt tops

Thanks Woks. Everywhere I read it all seems to end in tears as the caps are so thin.
Seems someone might have cleaned up (thrown out) about $60 worth of pickguard blanks I had stashed at my workshop. Bugger.
EDIT: Oil stage is done and curing. If I can sort a pickguard alternative, it should be going together this weekend!

what Pabs, one of your co-workers through out pickguard blanks, has the bin been emptied ?
so aren't you using the provided pickguard ? is it black or do you want another colour ?

That's about it Woks. Bin was emptied over a week ago. Long gone.
I just wanted a plain 3 ply black/white/black, alas I got the bare bones option kit therefore no supplied pickguard.

bummer Pabs, hope there was no mirror pickguard blanks tossed out. Hope you gave that person a right bollocking !
nice, black/white/black pickguard will look cool

looks awesome Pabs, did you need to route the bridge pup cavity north 5 or so mm on this kit ?
you going the speed dials on this one ?
