From Ian in Australia, simply beautiful
Hi Phil.
The kit you sent me was first rate. Precision is an apt description. The photos show:
1. Neck and body out of the box.
2. Ready for gluing – edges rounded, control cavity routed and control holes drilled.
This is a very nice piece of mahogany with some figure in the grain, so a clear finish was the only way to go.
I wanted the polished timber look and feel. Preparation was to fine sand to 2000 grit, no filler, then 3 coats of Organoil (a tung oil blend from Byron Bay in Australia), fine sanded between each coat, then finally polished and buffed.
3, 4, 5. Oiled and polished.
6. Fitted and ready to go – love it 🙂
