    That's looking great, kiteman!

    The cherry stain brought out the natural grain in the wood nicely and additional applications of shellac should darken it some more.

    Thanks, I steel wooled the body and it took the shine off but really smooth. It's got two more coats to bring the shine back but appeared smoother.





    I forget to blow out the wool in the cavities so I have more work to do. I'd just wiped it down before spraying.

    It'll probably be a week before I do anything with it. Shellac takes a long time to cure.

    Thanks guys.

    The pics doesn't do it justice. It's actually a beautiful piece of wood. I can see the depth in it. Move it around and it shimmers (for a lack of word to describe it).

    Shimmering wood is good. Somehow I missed this thread. I enjoyed going over your progress and seeing the results. Looking forward to the final showing. Looks great already.

    Thanks guys.

    It does look better than before. I wonder if my sanding revealed more grains cause it looks more even. Also the stain brought 'em out real nicely.

    When I dug out the "before" pics I thought "ugh!" And I tried to sell it.

    EDIT: check out the pics above, big difference.

    Great job, kiteman!

    Awww...ain't it cute. There's nothing like the love between a boy and his guitar. Boy falls in love with guitar, boy loses interest in guitar, boy falls in love with guitar again...
