I plugged the holes with mahogany and re-drill them, unfortunately the plugs will still show when the tuners are fitted. I could put on a new head stock veneer to cover them. I've decided to fit the neck to a "B" grade LPJ body (slightly overweight) and sell it of with a good discount.
Your life will improve when you realise it’s better to be alone than chase people who do not really care about you. Saying YES to happiness means learning to say NO to things and people that stress you out.

That's a pretty poor relic job
I am going to show the post blade pics now. some will want to look away. some will have seen this from me before and know that its the stage where it looks totally phoney before it starts to look right.
I will probably have another session with the blade adding more detail before i start to soften and add patina - the stages where it starts to look right
but i am happy to show this bit now knowing full well some will not like it no doubt tell me i have done it all wrong.
I just wiped it down with vinegar, which may prompt some green... if not i will use some dies and waxes to get there

looking forward to seeing how yours turns out with a razor, I'm still thinking about the greening so will be watching with interest

So far this top has about 45 mins work in it. It will likely be closer to 5 hours by the time I am happy with wear, age, patina etc...
