Ice7S 12

After six coats of oil I paused to give everything a smoothing with 1500-grit sandpaper (I'd have used steel wool but it was snowing outside). Here, photographed with the lights out to force a flash for maximum chatoyance, is the rear of the body with its seventh coat fresh. Depending on how it feels when dry, I'm definitely planning to make the seventh coat the last for the neck's maple, and might do the same for the mahogany, while continuing to build thickness over the veneered parts.
