The inlay will run me a couple of weeks and putting the fingerboard on the neck will take another couple. So i am hoping the body is complete about the same time as the neck and then I can assemble. So I am shooting for before Christmas but we'll see... I am getting excited about this one.Acousticplayerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09423499654902294177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1953220853724275776.post-57940810832518347622010-08-29T16:39:22.074-07:002010-08-29T16:39:22.074-07:00That's going to be fantastic.

I read somewhere where they recommend not using oil at all and if necessary use sparingly. Since then I have seen people recommend using it. I think for the bodying you don't use any, should be fairly wet in the beginning. But as I have done more and more Glazing I do see a need and it seems to help. I use the oil very sparingly. I saw a video on the internet and he put a lot on so I have been experimenting but still on the sparingly side. The issue is the oil will need to evaporate or be removed. I still use so little that I haven't used naptha. I give it 24 hours between sessions and then stiff with alcohol which seems to work well. YMMV! I personally use Olive Oil (extra virgin) and it has worked well. I have seen references to other oils like Walnut, but I had Olive and it seems to work fine. Let me know what you are doing and if you use oil, how you are applying/removing and your results! Thanks for your comment.Acousticplayerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09423499654902294177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1953220853724275776.post-18589466426588469452010-08-16T13:19:29.854-07:002010-08-16T13:19:29.854-07:00When you FP, what kind of oil do you use? Do you remove the oil with naptha?Martin lanehttp://laneguitars.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1953220853724275776.post-9337383049419124302010-06-01T09:53:59.110-07:002010-06-01T09:53:59.110-07:00Very cool.
