Obtained the body from a luthier.
Black walnut top with mahogany back.
Was sanded to 220
Sanded to 400 then to 600 yesterday
added first sealer coat of tung oil cut with naptha
hanging from our treadmill to dry overnight
I am guessing 4-6 coats to do it right

Mighty Mite compound radius 22 fret neck with black locking tuners and roller trees
Hardtail bridge

Now it has 4 coats of oil
got the headstock logo on, bought it off of ebay and had her do a custom logo (about $15 got a set of two of the same) glad it came with two as i left the first one in water too long and it was coming off as i removed it from the water, couldn't save it, nailed the second one though.
Had applied 1 coat of clear, applied the logo, seen below, this morning applied a second coat over the logo, I'll need one more to get it smoother.
