I put some lacquer on the Koa OM. Oh baby....it looks gooooood! See:

Another for good measure:
From the top:
I am very pleased with how it is looking. I have 8 coats on it now. All brushed. I am usinf Deft Gloss Brushing lacquer. I think another couple of coats and I let it sit for a week. Then I start sanding. Yippee!!
I have not leveled between any coats. I did not on the first two I completed either and I dont think it hurt other than to possibly add some sanding time when I got to that stage.

Anti-oxidents? I am loaded with them. I'll send you some.
Thanks for the compliments on the wood fellas. I got a couple of good sets of Koa here. They are making me want my own all koa guitar!
But then I have that claro walnut guitar to finish. And the ziricote. And some more sapele. And another matching set of Claro. So much wood, so little time.

I know what you mean Tony, I just got a set of crazy curly maple, outstanding curly cherry, white oak that's so wormy it's sick, and a set of exotic that's so top secret that if I told me, I'd have to kill myself!

You will have to build with that set while blindfolded. That should be an adventure.

Yeah Tony, it shouldn't be that much different from the one I'm building now, sometimes it seems like I'm building blindfolded (some parts look like it too) ha ha ha ha ha!
