Here's Geijer #3, complete after a loooong time without a shop. Just freshly strung up for the first time, it's a little harsh and brassy, but I have high hopes for the sound when it has mellowed a little, as that's what #1 did.

And the obligatory back shot. Very happy with how the color turned out.

Thank you! This is the first time I've done anything more complex than to just brush stain on with a brush, and I didn't do a whole lot more this time, so I'm very pleased with how it turned out. The stain is LMII's alcohol soluble aniline type. Black around the edges and two different concentrations of the blue.
The back, incidentally, is a one piece from a local lumber yard. Pretty happy with it considering it was $4.60 per foot.
Thanks,
Magnus

Thank you all! I really enjoyed the stain results on this one. Now I can't wait to get to where I get to colorize #4!
