The Saint's Top


Since last week Ben applied a coat with black pigment and just prior to shooting the photo below a coat of amber varnish to the Saint's top.  This is very nearly the final color. The varnish glistens since it is still wet and this should be close to the appearance once the final clear coat has been applied.  Note the finger board is clamped in place to more closely simulate the final appearance.

Similar treatments will be done to the back and sides once the top is dry.
