Your finishes are superb AJ.

ty Guys, Went to the show today. Wasn't that many displays there as it seems the greedy center want around $20,000 per stall.(That is what an old-timer from one of the wood turning displays told us, his group is a volunteer org that gives away whistles to kid also runs interactive lessons for kids.. they have to pay a $200 fee. It was once free for them)
So much wood... some really scrumptious black heart sassafras.. Laural Camphor.. ebony .. red gum..etc.. Dam pity I'm a pensioner and don't have the sort funds to be in a lolly shop like this! Any-hows, got some sample packs of veneer, will post some pictures later.

good stuff AJ, sounds like the same supplier the Tasmanian Huon pine factory had the best stuff by a mile at the Perth show.
Sounds like you got a similar mixed veneer pack as I did, well done mate, well spent money

Want to know a way to create your own spalting? you just add a bit of plain yoghurt to the surface of the wood, then leave it for a day or so then wipe off. that then creates a spalted finish.The bloke from Queensland woods told me that today..might give it a go out of being a nosey type of fella ..lol

Body now finished, wet sanded with 600, 1200, 2000 then 3000 grades. took all of around 15 mins then cut n polished. Next step is the neck, still pondering using a veneer ... not sure as the head has a hint of spalding and grain.
