Going to be a stunner when finished
Adam
are you going to stain/sandback to pop the Koa at all I have a Koa top to do at some point but wondering on the best way to get the grain patterns looking the best
it looks best in the real world, don't sacrifice that for a better photo.
the most I would do to enhance it is a light amber tint

Shellac would be another option.

Thanks, I'll get a demo together when it's finished
Thanks, I think

With that guitar I'd have to have a trem though
First coat of oil done on the body tonight

3rd and final coat is now drying, ready for waxing
or wow!!
its all about the way that will react under light... something often missed by the Pinterest generation

Not expecting a massive boost in sheen sheen from the wax, but a little extra depth and some protection on the finish.
I'll do the same thing on the r/w neck when that's back from Rothko.
