Time to whisky stain the neck and get a few coats of finish on it. It's now hanging up drying for a week or so.

Whilst the body is drying, I made a neck.

@robin Yeah, I was a little choked to part with some of this nectar but I also wanted it to be a part of this guitar, my first Scottish build. We’v...

I got a few coats of oil on and hung it up to dry and cure for a couple of weeks.

I did a little video of it too. 😂

I got to the finishing stage of the body and wanted to raise the grain before applying the finish. Usually I use water to do that but as I now live in...

@clinton Hey man, are you ok? I’ve just seen the news about Hawaii.

@robin It is indeed and it wasn't cheap. 300 smackers. It's actually to treat the external timber cladding on the house but I will be steeling a bit...

Bought some new finish. It's not cheap this stuff is it?
