My oldest wanted a lap steel for Christmas, so I had Tom Pettingill cut and glue up the Walnut/Maple body. I got it in the raw form ready for finish, electronics, etc..
I shot two light coats of T-O cut 2 to 1 with mineral spirits per day, sanded with 1000 the next morning and repeated the process until it was filled and level. Next, I let it cure about a week and polished it out with Stewmac compound and polish.
No sunshine here for the last few days so I had to shoot inside with natural light, but these will give you an idea of how it turned out..

Tom was nice enough to do a headstock inlay with the letter F (last name).
Kenny is really pleased with it....
Thanks again Tom for help along the way..
