Started the sanding of the body (I know sand sand and sand again) but the grain of the timber appears to go all the way through the body , I might wind up with a massive guitar pick made of ash . Is there some kind of filler to use I want it to be smooth and I want to finish it in the natural Dingotone finish.
Hi Michael, welcome to the forum,
Ash grain is very coarse and a grain filler will smooth out the surface. Get some Timbermate grain filler from good hardwares. It comes in many colours but I usually recommend ebony (one lighter than black) will look great on the ash with natural DT finish
