AJs Build LP-1

That looks really nice AJ, I like the two tone sides and back too. Can't wait to see how the top turns out.

Looking really good there AJ!
Regarding the binding, are you sure they are crack, not just scratches?

One of the things we recommend is to go through the grits to 600 on the binding. This will 'polish' the binding and avoid scratches being highlighted and will make getting the Wudtone off the binding very much easier. Of course, if the binding is cracked then this wouldn't work anyway!

Wot Gavin said... I go even further and steel wool the binding before I start the finish process... but then I am probably really anally retentive about these things....

I do that (really anally retentive), took note of some of the postings about that.
Got another coat of stain on the front today, I think one more should really bring out the purple-red color when the shinny coat gets applied.

I am learning from my mistakes along the way..

It needs to be finished Pest! Give the man a break! He's enjoying himself, taking his time as instructed by DB!

I'm not blaming the school work now, I'm blaming the horrid glue patch!!!
Hmmm... Getting to Perth in December would be tricky, school year ends 21st Dec. I think..

bit of a long story of the color...lol

I had a scratch appear on the back, so I went back and eliminated it, consequently I did not have enough deep color to redo back and a star burst on the front. So made a snap decision to keep the remaining wudtone for next kit I attempt.
Now for what the color is... the base is mahogany (wattle brand, old one in the shed and then added tints of black and red to get the color to almost a burgundy... I would not have a hope in hell of being able to get the mix the same again... 8O
