Well thanks Bill. It has been a fun ride so far! Glad to post these pics. I think the journey is such a great part of the commission experience.

Some scuffing and the next rounds of clear coat today.
Now we find out the special ingredient in Tim's clearcoat. And the spraying begins. • Video 1 • Video 2 Then they call in the cleaning crew. More to follow ….

Yowzah--it's looking better and better with each new coat along the way!
That burst is really coming to life--and the back and sides...schweeeeet!

After drying and between clear sprays, Tim lightly sands spots he feels need correction.
Then it's off to the spray booth again.

Looking great Tim, before my injury I had started to plan a custom build with one Sydney's better known Luthiers Jeff Mallia.
Jeff had already sourced the timber, figured sapele back and sides, very similar to the set used on this build. All the best to Mary and yourself mate. Will give you a call soon.

Sadly, today is the last we will see of this beauty for 3 weeks.
A little sanding and the final clear coats • Video Guess I'll just go and play my MiniMac until the paint dries.

I know that waiting game. I just finished the wait on my builds and started buffing today. Your guitar is gorgeous! The burst is a perfect match for that nice quilting. Having a burst always makes that level sanding just a bit more nerve wracking. I'm jealous of your spray booth, Tim. I'm a slave to what nature is doing.

BTW, the 000 Tunnel 13 / Bastogne Walnut (#1 of 13) sounds as awesome as ever. I've seen 35+ guitars come and go but she is still with me. Speaks volumes!
