    I dub the new colour Carmine Dark Onyx Gypsy, or in honour of its creator, C-Dog.

    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.

    It is actually not a bad thing to forget to steel wool between deep colour coats.
    I have found that it helps with darker colours.

    Question... Who is c dog?

    There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....

    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.
