WestSacGreenDesGP First Build: LP-1

[WestSacGreenDesignGP]

Here we go… down the rabbit hole.

[WestSacGreenDesignGP]

Was a little worried a couple days in when on return from work I found a curing check… but the PBG 'spurts (and my research) all say with good timber filler it'll sound fine… so onwards! Decided on a blonde to auburn sunburst (I may add more edge darkness later - we'll see) cos I am loving the grain and the light catching of the ripples in the grain.

Onwards...

and further - now the sunburst is becoming more defined

And is getting richer and deeper with each layer of stain..

Hi WestsacGreen, looking good, did you end up filling the cracks on the bottom side before wudtoning ?
Are you planning to cut the headstock shape before you get more coats on the neck/headstock ?
I'd recommend steel wooling the binding between coats will make it easier to clean up the binding.
Sunburst is coming along and love your hanging system on the bike handlebars !

Looking good indeed. Like Wokka asks, how did you go with the cracks?
