  I am still in the pore filling phase so not more than a spit coat but I think it's going to look great

  Just brewed up a new batch of shellac and tinted some pumice with some pigment.The darker colour takes on the shade of the rosewood when pore filling every guitar maker's favourite job.I don't enjoy the pore filling part but the results are worth it.The picture here is just a spit coat so you can see the open pores.Not to exciting but I think my son will be happy lol

  I spent a couple of hours today refinishing the guitar I built for my son Eric.I french polish and I used a cheaper alcohol and It left a bit of a cloud under neath a pretty good shine anyway I knew better but thought I would give it try at the time.There is always a bright side I was able to sand a few tiny mistakes that only the guitar maker knows about HAHA

  I was thrilled to find Don't Fretand so close to home! My son's guitar needed a lot of work and it sounds better than ever. You cannot beat his service and pricing. Highly recommended!

  I've seen his work first hand, it's fantastic. His guitars sound amazing as well, and he's also an equally amazing player. Truly loves what he does.
