Dave W:
Happy birthday, now I have another 8 months before I catch up with you again.
Really dig the looks of the finish on your birthday J. No grain filler on this one?

Thanks, it's a very easy finish to do after a little experimenting. We moved to Florida in the fifties and that was the finish on our new oak furniture. When I started my furniture biz in the Eighties I chose ash as my standard wood because of the wild grain and it reminded me of my '55 Precision.

Thanks, getting there is half the fun!
I no longer use grain filler on anything. With ash the water based white stain fills quite a bit but you still have some 3D with 2 sealer coats that's hard to photograph. Two heavy coats of lacquer would smooth it out pretty well but I like the semi flat look for a change. I had some pix of the body stained without any sealer but I deleted them somehow. I'll document the next one.

Buon compleanno Carlo. Beautiful basses.
If you need help with the italian customer i'd be glad to give you a hand.
OldManC:
Happy Birthday, Carlo! I'm glad your business is coming along. It ain't work if you love what you do.

I appreciate the offer, so far so good with Google Translate. I'm a little worried if I ship my usual way, through the mail. The Italian post office has a pretty bad reputation.
That's why I've been self employed my entire life, George!
