Clear coat wet sanded, need to fix more slight imperfections before final 2000 wet sanding & buffing.
It's getting shiny now. you can see how it darkened up considerably.
At first I was not sure about me not refinishing the fingerboard, but I like the yellowed aged look from the Ripper
You can see some green from the poplar, I guess because I did not put it in the sun after the final sanding, but still looks good to me
The neck actually stained rather well (I sanded the old finish off)
