Nearing completion...

After a couple of TruOil coats, I had to put the bass together for another electronics test, and also took some pictures this morning - enjoy

Looked like this in April


(it has been a bit modified since...)


In the absence of natural light, flash:




But then the sun started shining!








Some more pictures:

Highly figured bubinga pommelé - from Larry Davis, the man behind Gallery Hardwoods

 

No, not yet as it's not yet finished... but once it will be ready

 

oh sh...
It says the Gallery does not exist? ***?
Anyway, there are not many more pics there, these are the nicer ones

 

Fixed! This should work now:

"This gallery cannot be viewed from abroad" - isn't that lame...
Oh well...
Did the pictures come through ok? There's not much more in the gallery, so the pictures are the important part

When the picture was taken, there were about 6-8 coats of TO.
Some more coming on, then it will be sanded and then comes polyurethane - as the ash back is quite prone to dings...

I did manage to get TruOil after all - and a set of Hipshots, but as I said in that thread, for $122.20 worth of products I ended up paying over $240 thanks to FedEx, customs and 25% VAT

 

Thanks, NoJazzLoco!
Hey, how's your 5/6 Corvette? Still struggling to sell it?

Yeah, Larry does have some very sweet wood!
And it not only looks, but sounds good, as well!
I'm having a few problems with the full-passive-system's output, though.
It's too hot!

Yep, higher output than my Corvette, which is active.

There's a transformator with 500 on the primer and 3000 on the secunder ->

 

Oh and Hambone, if you happen to revisit this thread:
There are about 7-10 coats of TruOil on now - I applied some thick coats, used up about or even over half a small bottle. Is it ok to sand back at this stage with 1000-grit to get an even surface before the poly-urethane?
Thanks!
