Wokkas STA-1M tobacco burst

[wokkaboy]

Hi all,
I started this build about 2 weeks ago and finally got around to starting a build diary.
1st photo is after sanding and wet tagged with a pearloid white pick guard to see how it looks.
2nd photo got a camphor veneer glued to the headstock and shaped it.

next step did a 1st coat of jarrah stain/burning sun burst and burning sun on back of the neck

2nd colour coat of body

got first clear coat on Saturday and the 4D logo kindly made by Andyport, cheers for that, really happy how it turned out, the logo has been cut from vinyl, the 4D logo is a bit lighter red than usual but its growing on me.

here's some shots from Waynes phone after 3rd clear coat the colours look more red on this iphone. Couldn't resist in the late arvo direct sunlight shines on the right workbench vice.

Man Wokka, this is a sweet tobacco burst - you've totally nailed it! What kinds/colours of stains did you use for this one? I love it.

cheers,
Gav.

@ Gav --> yes pretty happy with the results, the more bursts you do the better you get. The colours are Feast Watson jarrah stain and burning sun, can't go wrong with that colour combo

[gavinturner]

Thanks man. Gonna have to check them out. Your results speak for themselves!!

cheers,
Gav.

cheers Gav, I want to get some more Feast Watson colours, they are about $20 for a 250ml can so you get lots of builds out of a can. I won't tell DB which big green shed I got them from ! haha
Here's the link, I use the proof tint range, there's a colour chart link
