Second coat of deep base didn't take too long - then again, forgot to steel wool lightly before applying, so not sure how much will have seeped in. Seems to be getting slightly redder and less reddy brown as time goes on.

I figured it fitted in with the whole dingo thing...

Hmmm.... Not really convinced as there is to much play in the set up.
I have seen so many of these inventions over the years but when it comes to the crunch, nothing beats a machined radius sanding beam for an accurate radius on a fret board.
Final deep bass on tonight (piccies tomorrow when the light's better)... Getting redder all the time - lost some of the brown that was there on the 1st coat. Love the feel of it on the basswood - already feels like its hardening the wood up.

As promised - update photos - got my handy assistant to give me a hand. Moving on to the bass coat tomorrow...
