PerryL Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 I'm starting a new build and whilst cutting the neck pocket my Jig slid and left me with an unsightly groove at the heel. Unless you guys come up with something ingenious I'm gonna just cut in a small layer patch in that area. I just realized I don't have my pics online anywhere to show the damage. Maybe soon I can sign on with picbucket or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menapia Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 If your going to uses binding maybe you could run it around the neck pocket (turn it into a plus ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Bennett Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 Binding Patch with similar wood, then solid color body or sunburst Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerryL Posted December 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 Thanx Fellas. Finishing is NOT my strong suit however, I've had it my mind to shade it with Aerosol Mahogany Toner to get a sunburst top. It's 3 piece Basswood so It's gotta have a colorant because Let's face it, it's not a pretty wood. I'll be patching her up prior to completion but thats the plan and I have been planning a little bit ahead. I usually fly seat of the pants making mods as I go but this one I want to turn out good.

IPA or death Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 Well if you admit that it isn't a pretty piece of wood in the first place and that you aren't great at finishing, this might be a candidate for a solid color. If you go that route, it's not a problem at all, since you could patch it and never know it happened. That's what I would do. Be thankful it's not some $100+ maple top or something.
