Adding to what DB said. I was warned against the shellac from Bunnings...too yellow apparently.
DB, when apply the Wudtone product, was it necessary to do the Superglue fill or did the Wudtone cover that off nicely?

No superglue if using Wudtone!!!! Wudtone is designed to soak in.Quote from Gavin1393 on December 4, 2012, 14:03

The problem with shellac from Bunnings is, well, it is from Bunnings.... as well as being to yellow, it usually is not de waxed, even if it says it is. Remember, Bunnings is an outlet for cheap stuff and apart from buying the occasional drill bit I tend not to shop there for my Lutherie gear....

What Wudtone finish have you put on there DB? Looks fantastic!
Is this after just the deep colour coat?
The ageing top coat would be nice on top of this.

I have used the ageing top coat on the Axe of Destiny, and it looks great! ( Photos I must post and send to you as well)
Have yet to make up my mind re: top coats, will confer with Adam and ask for his input with this....

brilliant thanks Dingobass - I havent opened mine yet - I am saving it for a Christmas pressy from the family - that way I get to have them involved in the project...haha.
I missed all your follow up with Gavin, Dingobass - I think that I will go with Wudtone also and avoide the superglue route - also I was looking at the Bunnings Shellack today - good thing I didnt get any - cheers again Pete

You wont be dissapointed with the Wudtone.
Be patient and give each base coat a minimum of 24 hours, and finish coats 48 hours to dry between coats and you will love the results.
Enjoy the build! 8-)
