Don’t fret! I’ll do both of these today.
@clinton Thanks man. 🤘
Wowser! 🤩 I love Sam Fish’s music. 👏👏👏👏
I test fitted the tuners and it’s all looking good. It fits into the family nicely (although this one isn’t for me).
@frank1985 I just had to get that volute right. 😉
More refining today and I cut the headstock shape out.
@frank1985 Excellent, well done. 👍
No problem @robin if you spray lighter coats, it’s less likely that you will experience blooming too. It’s always best to wait for good conditions tho...

I thought you would like that @tv101 🤣

@frank1985 That’s fine, I would leave it like that, don’t try and sand further into the headstock. The main thing is, it won’t affect the instrument f...
@clinton Be careful when sanding with a radius block. It’s easy to sand more off one side than the other or even sand a twist into the fretboard. In y...

@russ Thanks, that’s what she said. 😜
