Ah right, have you finished that stuff before. I only say that because most African Mahoganies have really open grain. Finish will drop in to those pores really easy and even when you think you have it covered it shows up along the way. I'm sure you've got it done though you ain't a noob at this.;
I think I adequately filled it. We'll see later when I sand it. I'll say it again "I stink at finishing"
Really. I would think that would be difficult to sand. Do you get good chaytoyance with it?As a side, I use clear epoxy on all those types as a filler these days. If I'm going clear on top I'll colour the epoxy down to the darkest fleck. If I'm going with a solid colour it's no biggy.
Thanks, Me too, but I'm trying not to rush things.Both are looking really good. Can't wait to see and hear them strung up.
Nice. That looks almost like European Walnut. Much browner than the American Black.
I thought the same, as if it was mislabeled.
Whats the dimensions of the board?
It's just over 9' long, and about 10 inches wide, by 1 3/4 inches thick.
I have plenty of ideas for it. When ever I get an unusual board I keep picturing things that it is should be every time I walk past it. I got a lot of stuff to do..
I know how you feel, but you I'm sure have much more material sitting around than me.
I bought it for a guitar that I'll build for a friend, so It's his really. We had to buy the whole piece, but I'll rathole some of it for myself.That board looks like it needs to be at least one bass guitar and a few drop tops.
I'll probably cut into it today. I haven't stabbed it with the hygrometer yet. Either way it's so dry here that it will acclimate quickly.Cut that waney edge off soon though. You'll never use it and it will only harbour moisture and possibly other nasty crawlies. How dry is it?
