Acoustic Guitar Construction

Thanks Dave I will check that out when I send any more pictures. I can tell you right now me and Computer stuff just don't get along too good, but we will see.
Dave question please:
I have 6 coats on the entire guitar and have wet sanded two times with the 1500 grit and mineral spirits. That whole process has gone very well and I can not be any more happy with it. Here is my question. I was told in the beginning not to pore fill the Adi. Red Spruce top, which I did not, but from what I am seeing right now I think the top will maybe need a few more coats of TO than the rest of the guitar. Is that what you have found? I mean it looks good but it needs to be filled a little more as far as I can see.
Thanks in advance.

It's true that softwoods don't have pores as such. A few more coats - up to 12 total, as a rule of thumb - builds a nice, still thin, finish; so if it looks to you like that adi top needs more, go for it. No harm.

Dave I have 15 coats on the top and am happy with the finish. I know you like that hand rubbed finish and so do I but I was wondering if I should do a final coat of TO and Mineral Spirits mixed 50/50 What would you do?? Have you ever did that and if so which way do you like the best?

Also Dave I still have a couple spots on the top if you put it under a good light that could use a tad more filling. If I did do a 50/50 would that help to do that??

The 50/50 will give a bit more shine and looks just fine, it might help with that fill also. Do it and see if you like it, you can always buff it 'down' a bit.

Thanks Dave you are the man.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.

You too! I hope it's a great one for you and yours.
