I just wanted to post a few pictures of the kit that I finished today. I used zebra wood for the pick-guard, armrest and headstock veneer. I thought the contrast of the natural finish with the zebra wood would be nice. The finish was done with tru-oil which was really nice to work with. I followed Siminoff's graduations and it sounds great. It will only get better with time. It was a great learning experience and primer for my first "from scratch" build which I am starting in the next couple weeks.
I never had to even ask a single question because everything I needed to know was found in the archives and through searching the forum. I couldn't have done this without the information I have gathered through Mandolin Cafe, thanks to all who have filled this place with answers.
