Ok so I just couldn't wait and the last coat of poly was a week ago so I decided to hit with foam pad on drill and some fine cut compound. And this is the result. Sorry bad lighting but you can get the picture. I will wait another week and then move to swirl remover and a coat of polishing compound.
Nice! That's looking very shiny.

Hand crafting guitars, because Death Rays are expensive.
Hi Dude, initially 1 coat of tea and maybe 2 coats of steel wool rust solution but then stupidly added some ink pad black ink which turned everything crap and had to sand almost everything off. So all up it has 2 coats of tea and probably 2 or 3 of the rust. Only sanded the body to 120 and made that grade as smooth as it would get before applying the stains and then no more sanding, just straight onto the full strength Tru Oil for about 6 coats then reverted to 50/50 with turps to do the wet sanding application as that helped to apply the finish as well as smooth things out at the same time.

i love your cat im a cat man as well, nice job on the tele may i ask what clear did you use
Well Phrozin I am not really a cat guy more of a dog man but we rescued two baby boy kittens a couple years ago that my twin girls had to have. And everyone in the house thinks I hate the cats but secretly I don't mind them too much sometimes I actually pay attention to them..
Anyways to the guitar.. I used a water based polyurethane made by General Finishes.. you can see a picture of it in the thread.. I wanted to use nitro but didn't have good respirator or equipment so decided to try the poly and I am very happy so far..
