Hello guys, Not so much posting those days because of the finishing process That just means spraying-drying-sanding-spraying-drying-sanding... no interest Some pictures shot about 1 week ago after the 2nd coat... still need 4-5 more! http://img842.imageshack.us/img842/4584/imgp2354.jpg http://img801...

Dont worry for the sunburst Bent, I've did before, You could help me reveal the figures of the wood indeed! I finished today the inlay process: http://img810.imageshack.us/img810/4985/imgp2335z.jpg http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/6136/imgp2334h.jpg I'll have to think about the finish now Xavier

Thank you. I like the semi-gloss look

Happy week end,

Xavier

Today was a "fret" job day I enlarged the fret slots with my dremel and the 3/64 stewmac router bit: http://img31.imageshack.us/img31/1244/imgp2312j.jpg And glued the bone frets with black CA http://img818.imageshack.us/img818/8099/imgp2314.jpg We'll see the result tomorrow... before the "real" inlays

I finally got my inlays and frets set... I think my lapsteel is not soon to be finished!
