Ok guys check this out. top is glued in two parts which i had to do cause i didnt have enough clamps so i planned accordingly. went well then trimmed the tops overhang i left intentionally.

i woke up early today and sat with a skill belt sander i got for 40 bucks in between my feet and flush sanded the entire body. then took my detail sander and tried to get as much of the glue off the top as possible.

i then hit it with some danish oil to reveal the beauty and i was soooo happy.....

until i dinged the inside of the neck pocket. really have no idea how that happened, its such a stupid area. anyhow sanded that and replaced the missing piece with some titebond and sawdust of the matching color. small piece hopefully wont be too noticible. anyhow i wont lose sleep over it.

BAMF!
