# 2 went out today, here it is in sealer, hated to paint over this hunk of mahogany:

All Mohawk all the time:

Beautiful, like a piece of polished jet...

I think I should go back to those controls on mine - they look just right...

Simple seems best on the controls.  I think I'd like to do a natural mahogany, I've got another cherry coming up for Rex Diablo.
