Hi Ry- I will be posting the whole process so you can keep track and I'm glad to share with you any info that I have on any building too -- ok??
Peace,
Donald
Hi Ry.. many thanks for all your efforts. Please don't trouble any more on my account. I've been experimenting and manged to get the correct effect by using a matt lacquer to soften the colour coats before I shot the clear gloss. I doubt if that's how they do it and probably age has been a factor in modifying the appearance of the finish, but at least I think I'm going to make the customer happy! By the way I enjoyed having a lokk round your website.
Best wishes

Hi Ry - I took a look at your web site and I must say that I liked what I saw :)
I have a mandolin in process and its on my page in blog form if you are interested in looking.
Peace,

Hi Ry- the instrument that you are working on in your pic looks to be a lap top steel, correct me if I am wrong, however it looks like a very unique shape and I must say, I'm very interested in the out come.
I have made a few lap top steels and they were all made of solid maple.
Peace,
Donald
Ry, it's been 5 days since I emailed heritage and no reply has materialised. Might I take advantage of your kind offer to personally contact their repairman and use your 'fluence to extract the info. I would be extremely grateful, especially so since another local repairman, who has no finishing facilities, is prepared to pass all his finishing work on to me depending on the outcome!
