    That's pretty good! My ash TL was 2.4kg at the start. (before contouring and additional weight relief.
    You should finish up with a very reasonable total weight.

    Now get crackin'!!!

    Missing a few progress shots, but applied some ebony timbermate grain filler, sanded back. Then a coat of diluted black FW prooftint, sanded that back. Then have applied three coats of crimson artists ink.

    Pretty happy how it's turning out.

    That's looking good dozy.
    Sorry I didn't find that U-beaut mixture, but seems you've done just fine without!
    Look forward to seeing that with a clear coat.

    All good. I actually went to timbecon on Friday, but they didn't have the U beaut stains in stock... So that forced my hand to get cracking with what I had.
