I didnt want to pipe in with just another pat on the back Doc but I cant help myself. Fantastic watching this come together.

No need to pat me, my self-esteem is fine.   I just like to share the progress and chat about the process.  Once a teacher, always a teacher!

Here she is, all sanded and degreased with Naptha.  Grain filling the top is next then we'll decide on the finish!

You know me, I vote natural. That IS awesome!!!!!

[Dave W]

Another vote for natural.

I like natural or a slight amber tint.

You know tobacco burst would be really cool as would cherry red dye ( Gibsonize it)

[Pilgrim]

Nice grain....a transparent finish with some tint - amber, red, blue, green - would be very cool.  And don't discount the loveliness of a 'burst.....speaking of which....

Here are front and back shots of my old Univox for inspiration:

My luthier Brian did a bass recently with a Ric style body that had the Allen Woody sig style colours.
That looked beautiful.

I love natural too, but this one begs for a little tint on it me thinks!
