From Simon,

The finish process has begun. The guitar has been pore-filled and a sealer has been applied along with the first polyester coat. A second coat is applied and then the finish will be leveled and buffed to a high gloss. The resulting finish is around 0.002” on the soundboard. The benefits of polyester are that the finish does not continue to shrink over time — so no sinking around purfling, rosette, or glue lines. The polyester is also impervious to solvents, cold checking, and incredibly scratch resistant.

Trevor, that's looking absolutely beautiful. I really enjoyed the two Baraniks I played with this b/s wood - hopefully I'll get a chance to play this Fay before it finds a home.

Cheers,
David

Trevor unfortunately you have been "photobucketed" and no one can see the images.
