I always wanted to try a euro-style slimline and my wife wanted a slimline blackwood with sapwood for her student teacher, so I tried this style. I'm not really happy with the finish. It's my first enduro and it's not very glossy. I guess there's two ways to do a finish on these and I like the black pore filling much more than cleaning out the pores. I will make the waiste thicker on my next one too.
I thought of doing some trim lines (either skew tip grooves, or guitar string blackened, but opted out of both. Next one will be for my niece, from purpleheart, with an illegal CB (acacia wood from the Holy Land). I didn't know at the time, that it is not supposed to leave the country. Do you think I can do this style, with the CB attached to the clip end? I could do the burn lines on that one, to separate the colors difinitively. What do you all think? Anyone done this style before?
Thanks. comments welcome. Oh yeah, there are some light scratches in the wood. I didn't see them, when I was prepping the blank for finish. I need more light.
