I always enjoy the transformation that happens with the first coat of finish. This one seemed worth sharing.

Dang. I've seen finish run before, but what's with all those black lines?! Maybe they'll sand out. idunno

For anyone wondering, I'm just kidding. That looks fantastic!

Dang, that sure is purty!

_________________
The name catgut is confusing. There are two explanations for the mix up.

Catgut is an abbreviation of the word cattle gut. Gut strings are made from sheep or goat intestines, in the past even from horse, mule or donkey intestines.

Otherwise it could be from the word kitgut or kitstring. Kit meant fiddle, not kitten.

Purdy!
I've always been amazed at dyed or sunburst dyed instruments. They look positively dull, awful until you get enough varnish on them. All of a sudden, you can see down into the wood for miles...and we weren't even talking about the other half of the change...tone.

I love the look of a new guitar with just a few coats on it.
The finish brings the wood alive.
