Well. I finished 23 last week, but haven’t done the obligatory beauty shots. Overall this is the best instrument I’ve made to date. It plays and sounds great. I still have LOTS of Thing to tighten up tolerances on, but they are getting better each time:) I give you… 23 (I realized the inside sticker looks like a Dr Pepper label after I had stuck it ha)        Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Looks lovely!. I take it that this is the one where you did the back & sides with Osmo oil, and the top is FP? I really like the way the finish came up. |

Looks quite nice, and - Very - finely crafted. Honestly though, I keep thinking how much better it would look with a gloss finish. The workmanship deserves a high end finish. |

I’m still up on the air on it. I pulled off the oil and fp and had very VERY few finish flaws… I haven’t had results like that w wm6000 . I do know it’s a practice and technique thing Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

That is a nice, clean looking guitar. Got some Osmo oil to try but have to admit I'm on the fence about it as compared to my usual FP which is a medium gloss, I would say. |

Looks good Snow. Nice inlays, purfling, rosette. I like the finish. That slotted head came out nice too. Is that your second? Mine with the satin Osmo came out more of a semi-gloss. Certainly not like the satin guitars I've seen in stores. I put the final coat on heavy, and buffed it with a cloth before it got dry. They don't say to do that, but who follows rules? Not me. The finish is still very thin. I think they sell a cleaner/restorer that you can apply if it gets wear, or dull. I haven't tried that. Been making violin varnish the last few days. That's smelly sticky stuff. I'll be glad when I'm done. |
