Global warming perhaps?
get it up ya
I think I have seen elsewhere Woks refer to that stuff as Bush Chook plus other disparaging remarks. Judging by the carton you would expect it to be cheap however a quick look on Dan Murphy's found it is dearer than XXXX Gold and looks very much like WA's version of the same thing?
yeah it basically is haha. all hail the 30 can block
Yeah, except on New Years Eve when I went To Dan Murphy's and found my 30 can favourites dearer than 24 stubbies of Corona and bought them instead. Most of the time the cans work out half the price of a craft brew stubbie. Mind you I have been known to buy some Squires in Tap King and that was good fun pouring my own frothies for a short while as you only get about 15 - 20 drinks out of a bottle.
Ben you don't give up on bush chook or wife beater !!

ahaha its just funny. if im buying beer usually ill get something like coopers, little creatures or fat yak. im not super fussy and i dont drink beer much these days anyway, just the odd 1-2 here and there. my mates put away blocks and blocks of bush chook though
What I save on expensive beer goes back into guitar builds & acquisitions.
Hey Woks, you must be earning way more than me to afford all that Craft Beer and vast guitar collection.
Time for an update. Over past few weeks have applied 4 coats of TO by brush, left to cure for a few days and last weekend wet sanded with 1500 grit. Ragged a further 4 coats on during the week and took these shots outside using overcast skies for some soft natural lighting. The colour in photos is a true representation of how it looks and really pleased with colour toning.
Neck shots
This one being my 2nd build is turning out better than my first attempt with the EX-5. Found that brushing on the TO helped to level out any highs & lows in the grain after staining as some areas looked drier or thirstier than others. after 4 coats it looked thick enough to handle a light wet 1500 sand and then switched to ragging on next coats. Almost like a piece of glass now with only a few small ripples here and there. Will probably do 2000 wet sand tomorrow, add a few more coats then leave for a while to cure before using Maguires for final polishing.
