My first attempt at one of these. I did manage to sand through some of the keyboard definitions, which was a little disappointing. But, that's a lesson learned for next time, and I am sure there WILL be a next time. It's a great kit!
There's CA on the Holly to help seal it, but I stll had trouble keeping the Holly clean. The bottom barrel was left without finish, since it's African Blackwood, and will look better over time. I would REALLY have liked to have done this in lacquor, but my friend, who lives in NY, called and said he'd be in town today, so this got turned yesterday, and passed off to him this morning.
I did some TSW on this after the pics, and the bottom barrel looks shinier after two coats. Hopefully my friend will like his Christmas present (he didn't open it today)!
As always, comments, critiques, and the like are welcome.
