Just want to say thanks to all for providing knowledge and inspiration over the past months of my 'lurking around' on this forum. I've just finished staining and sealing a wonderful kit of a 0-16NY replica from John at Blues Creek Guitars.
As a first-timer, many of the processes have been intimidating from the sense of 'Jeez, if I slip with this, I'll really screw up a lot of work!' Well, as with most new things, its the first step that is the most difficult, the rest is just putting one foot in front of the other. This is a really great site that haas helped keep my feet pointed in a mostly right direction (wobbling has been of my own accord!
)
It's afar cry from perfect, but here is a shot of the box with stain (Minwax red mahogany) and seal (1# cut shellac).
