OK. Got some snaps of the back. Absolute pain trying to take piks of this as it reflected everything in the workshop. Was even worse outside, Piks kept coming out with the finish looking like chrome.
These arent the best quality, but its the best I can do with my crappy camera for now.
Black poly finish to body & neck. I let the finish sink into the grain so there is a little texture on the back to compliment the rippled front. Then polished the living hell out of the whole lot. Probobly overdone the buffing a bit as it is overpowering the light graining from the ash underneath. Lesson learned, next time ill be polishing for shorter time periods between checks.
But the customer digs it, so im happy.
