For finish, I want a gloss, but haven't decided whether to go multiple layers of tung oil, or superglue, or superglue over tung oil. I guess it depends on how it looks as I go along.

I've seen some videos where super-thin layers of wipe-on poly have yielded excellent results. They certainly changed my mind on how I'm going to finish a project.

I did this with Minwax wipe on poly . Then buffed with a little wax . It's great , super fast dry time and less stinky than Tru oil .

If I was starting from scratch, I'd get some of that, but since I already have a big ol' can of glossy poly, I'll just thin it out a la the vids I've seen. No sense letting all that goop go to waste, eh?

Here’s my beautiful blue Aria SB bass...

Which reminds me, I must make an appointment with the opticians for those Ishihara Tests they suggested I have...

I've been wanting a laser for just this reason - which brand/model is this one?

cheapest thing I could find , it was tricky to get that line to lay down on that but it did do the trick . It is a "strait-line" brand

I hate you. I wanted one of those but was never able to pin it down. Too late now. It's a beauty!

This thread has just convinced me to put the original aged white pickguard back on my sonic blue custom shop 64 jazz relic. The original owner had replaced it with tort which always jarred with me a bit. Much happier now.
