I have not been around much...work keeps getting in the way :)
Guitar # 3 the "WinterGuitar" is out being finished but Guitar # 4 "Celtic" is being finished by me....a mistake perhaps...but ...
After having a problem with the pore filler for the KTM9 I decided to go back to nitro.
So here are some photos after rubbing out the finish:

Very nice...love the Celtic theme. Is that redwood or cedar? Nice work!

I'll echo my good friend Hesh... The bar has been raised indeed! Hmmm... I guess it's back to the drawing board for my next end-graft...

That walnut and koa combo is to die for! Top drawer!

Bill, you amaze me every time you post a new guitar, i love your creativity and i will follow your example, i bought me some box of mixed veneers from Lee Valley and will inlay my no 2 that way, if you don't mind, i'd like to PM you for advice when i get to that part of the build!

Love that walnut, she's just soooo gorgeous!

TIA

Serge

Bill very nice. I think you did a great job with the theme. Very understated and that is good. You could've easily crossed into gaudy, but you didn't. You obviously have an eye for design.

Your eyes are just fine....hence why the Winter Guitar is out to a pro, as will any that follow.

Swweeet! Kinda reminds me of the fret markers on the Taylor DDSM, only MUCH MUCH cooler! You must have nerves of steel doing all that celtic inlay! And the finish looks great! I'm buffing the last finish I'll do in my shop right now...all others to Tony!
