TBH Malc it never occurred to me to use micromesh wet.. Wet n’ dry paper is for metal only in my world.

Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

When I first acquired it a few years ago, all its blurb recommended wet on lacquer. And I'd always used w'n'd with cellulose paint on car and bike.
I know now then.

Seven necks rubbed from 15500 to 12000 each to a high gloss.
Now I've got to wash the cellulose dust off all the sheets and pads, and when dry start on the seven instrument bodies.
But it's car service and MOT tomorrow.

You've got way more patience than I have Malc. They look lovely.

Thanks, Al.
I find sanding an rubbing back therapeutic. I record old man rock shows from BBC Radio 2, play them back on BBC Sounds and do the rubbing/sanding in time with the mainly 4/4 rock beat. That way, i know every part and every component gets exactly the same amount of rubbing/sanding.

I've started on the bodies working my way through the grades.
That Sycamore looks even more gorgeous in the flesh, or should that be in the wood.
The Paduk has come out nice, too.
So has the Spruce.

I have visions of you doing a backwards and forwards CPR type sanding motion to Staying Alive.

Today, I had one of Paul Gambaccini's programmes playing. It was quite laid back so I was somewhat less aggressive.I have visions of you doing a backwards and forwards CPR type sanding motion to Staying Alive.
