    that looks awesome AJ, is this an alder body ? grain looks too nice for basswood. You have done well to strip it all back and get to this level so quickly. Was there much damage from dropping the body ?
    It's Basswood wokka, and was a good sized dent with too much mucking around to get it back to match the rest. So I stripped it right back.

    Lawry, I generally add a bit of the color coating to the clear (like a very minor tint), by doing that, it gives depth to the initial few top coats (I also sand between these coats). The cut back final coating will be plain clear. The free loading bug has been "eliminated" now.

    Good idea Wokka, but this time you will need to carry the beers from the fridge....I'm a bit worried about AJ's slippery hands.....

    ty for all the good words guys, think I have the body finish to where I'm satisfied with it,( warts n all). tis now cut back and polished by hand. have fitted the string ferrules and strap buttons, tomorrow will look at possibly making a pick guard from a sample bit of laminate. It is just a bees knee too narrow to make a full guard, but will see how it pans out
