Thanks guys!! I will def keep the vids coming
I'll keep that in mind wokka, after I applied in the swirling motion I ran over from with the rag with the grain. I was just following DB from his vid. I checked the body this morning and the burst is starting to show from just the first application, so I'm quite pleased
Great videos Shazz! The color looks really good as well. One little thing I noticed was all the little frayed edges of the holes for your hardware, you will want to clean all those little chips of wood out, they can get sandwiched between the pot body and the guitar body, then when you tighten it down it wont sit flat but at a slight angle. (It happened to me) also enjoyed your covers, Leeland is one of my favorite bands and I appreciate anyone who can sing in that range!
Hey Jeff, thanks for the heads up! I will clean them out before applying the stain to the face
And thanks for checking out my other vids! Leeland is an old fav of mine!!
Here's the 5th installment guys! Im pretty happy with how the colour turned out, hopefully the bursts shows more with the intensifying coat.

looking good Shazz, wait a few days the colour may deepen. Keep applying more stain coats on the outside and the colour will deepen more. You have to be patient with Dingotone there are no drying agents in it.

Thanks Gav, waiting for my 2nd bottle of stain from Dingotone
So I've decided I'm leaving the neck as a natural finish so am only staining the face of the headstock. Here is the vid of that process. The colour is seriously so amazing!! I'm in love!!

Sorry it's been a while between updates, auspost have buggered up my delivery as I'm waiting on more stain to apply to the body
Here is the application of the intensifying coat to the face of the headstock. I did a couple more after but didn't film as it was much the same, you will see the colour in my next vid of the first coat of the final coat
