@markbailey Definitely one of yours although at the time of purchase the species identity was a little indeterminate - if you say sycamore I believe you. ! just liked the way it looked. Thought I had blown it with the stain as it looked so flat - came alive with the application of oil. The beauty is in the wood rather than my skill TBH. 12449 12450

Can your really showcase something that is incomplete? Probably not but, as I seem to be a rather slow builder, I display my progress for no other reason than I promised Mark I would.

I don't have spraying facilities so opted for gunstock oil over a stain. This is my first attempt at achieving any sort of serious finish. The result exceeded my expectations. One day I might even finish the build....

For those of you with a keen eye, please ignore the dodgy routing on the neck pocket. Too greedy 😦
