name! I could use some help with that too!

Here are three shots showing the body in the machining process, and with a little mock up to see what it looks like.







Good Lord willing, I will have it sanded, radiused and the first of several coats of finish on it by tomorrow evening. One question for you.....should this have any type of a reddish tint applied to it to make the grain pop? I am used to working with gun stocks and one of the things we do on walnut is to put a reddish tinted wash on it. I don't want too much, but am curious what you guys think.
