Thanks Paul - I'm really *very* happy with this finishing product. It worked well on the blue one, and it's worked well on this one, so it's clearly suitable for both stains and natural finishes.

Much shinier - and quicker - than trying to build up coats of oil.

Looking forward to trying it, currently using TruOil to use it up

Waxed and buffed - even shinier now!

And now starting work on the back - first coat of the Liberon Easy applied.

That looks great, I might well have to try that on my Crimson build. Have you used it with any stains before too? I’m thinking doghair…

Awesome, thanks! I forgot you’d used it on that one too

Sporky · January 2023

There are a lot of very neat bits in this.

TTony · January 2023

Thanks @Sporky, some of those bits were even designed in from the start

TTony · January 2023

This is ready for assembly now.

The cavity covers show the effect of the finish;

Waiting for some neck bolts, and the rear string ferrule block, before I can complete the put-together.

Are we still in Q4??

Finally, done, strung-up, plugged-in and all working. Need to finish the intonation, but that aside, it's done

Big thanks to @GSPBASSES who made the stunning neck. I've tru-oiled it, with a little wax over the top, and it's as shiny and smooth as a very - very - shiny and smooth thing.

Thats a bit special Tony, very nice indeed

eSully · January 2023

Love that TTony, wonderful build

TTony · January 2023

Cheers both @paulnb57 and @eSully ;

Got to grips with the CNC, and with the French polish style finishing on this build. The next one might look similar

And no feck-ups on this one either!

PeteC · February 2023

great work @TTony. You've done justice to that fantastic neck of Grahams with that CNC'd body. I wouldn't know where to start with all that CNC stuff

Hows it sound ?

Howdy, Stranger!
