    Gone vintage Gibbo with this one. Not sure I like it now.

    Wow Jarrod! I gotta be honest with you, I'm not usually a big fan of black bursts, but this one looks sensational. The feathering out towards the center just looks amazing. You made the right decision here man. With the bursting front and the black back and sides - I love it!

    cheers,
    Gav.

    You may not like it, but I do! I'd be flipping between a satin and high gloss finish on it though!

    That is outrageously hot. You are getting too hard on yourself Jarrod.

    Na it was ragged on Wokks. I bought this for a client but forgetting she wanted all the correct "G" woods so I sourced one from else where for her and kept this myself. I'm just not really a sunburst kind of guy , I don't mind black shadow around the outside but this is a little too much burst for my personal liking but hey It may grow on me. I have done a TLA for a client the same and wondered how it would go on a bigger canvas.

    I think once it has some clear on it Jarrod it will grow on you. Nice job mate, love the thick blend on the bottom front edge. How did you clean the binding, steel wool or scrape it off ?
