This is running up to my usual speed when it comes to refins (look at it this way, the RD took nearly two decades to get a new set of strings - this is a newbie...!)
First off, I didn't post a pic of the "dirty" body once the sanding was done, hence my going back to black...
Anyway, something arrived from the good ol' USofA... (cheers Brad) - Ovation branded... perfect fit...
So, on with some advice that is required...
Carlo mentioned leaving the grain raw, but there is a distinct "ridging" to the wood, presumably with the "rings" being tougher... not going to be one of Carlo's "mirrors" - more like the "house of mirrors"
If I grain-fill, anything recommended for ash...?
