Carve top

I'm up to 5 thin coats. I do bring it up stairs to dry with the furnace running its ready for 1coat per night. I've also been using the brown paper bag to sand, very fine but effective and the coats stay shiney 'er tha N with 0000 steel wool.
 
View attachment 965 3 coats of oil now.
I hit the sides and the Flame Maple just popped.
Now the hard part is waiting for that to cure in the Northeast winter climate.
That's really beautiful. One question though: In the earlier pix in this thread, the neck being fitted clearly has a rosewood fingerboard. This guitar looks to have a maple fingerboard. What am I missing?

It's neither. Is it in fact Pao Ferro that has not been oiled yet
 
Here is the second most gorgeous top.

Very very nice, Glenn. Personally, I'm not digging the looks of those knobs. The guitar has this beautiful and unique vibe to it, but the knobs look like they were borrowed from something else.
