Ledzendrix1128 Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 I'm thinkin about starting to use some black limba. I would probably want the same kind of gloss finish you have on this one. I plan on using nitrocellulose/compressor set-up, but what I was wondering was if you had grain-fill that limba before you shot the clear on? Ive never worked with limba before so I'm not sure if its ok to just laquer over the wood and build up a thick coat, or if an epoxy grainfil would make for a nicer finish.

msherman Posted April 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 Limba needs to be grain filled. I used Mohagany grain filler for this one to add some richness to the color of the Limba. There is an .080 for the F# Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Sorbera Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 Limba works just like mahogany, feels like mahogany, and finishes like mahogany. It needs grain filler but finishes very easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erikbojerik Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 Slightly OT but what the heck... Late on Friday I got an email from my wood guy, he's getting about 150 bf of black limba in this week. It is only the 2nd shipment he's received in the 5 years I've been shopping there. I'm going to be there when the truck backs up to the loading dock, PM me if anyone wants me to get extra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
