    Great use of TM and don't recall seeing another Ash LP before?

    In the bottom pic it looks like there is the typical Ash grain waves happening where the TM shrinks back in on itself leaving the ripple of the grain behind. Pretty hard to get Ash dead flat and from most other threads, Doc Nomis's Gold Strat in particular, even under solid colours it can prove difficult to hide so I reckon just embrace it as part of the unique look you have already created.

    Yeah - Agreed.

    Unless I put something like 15 odd coats of clear on it, I think I'll have myself a grainy LP. Does that matter? Not in the least.

    My original idea was to shoot for more of a grey-black, this color is more of a brown black. I've been playing with a black to body brown burst idea , but if it's not gonna turn out I'll just 0000 it back to neat, and start the topcoats, I think.

    When I get the end result, I'll throw more pics up.
