Started (2nd coat) of Liberon Finishing oil on the body and neck. Applied with a lint free cotton rag, circular motions followed by with the grain... Front & side  Back  Neck  Seems best if it's left for 24 hours (or more) before cutting back with steel wool and applying further coat. Anyone out there with better application techniques I'm all ears... |

They look superb and I'm sure will play as well.
Andrew, welcome to M.O.C. (Milsom Owners Club). It's much more exclusive than the Jaguar Owners club and certainly sounds better.
John

Lovely to meet up with Francis francis once again and take delivery of the pair of parlours. Thanks John fatfingerjohn for the welcome to the MOC club and yes Keith ocarolan if I can get our neglected recording system to spring back into action then I'll get something done for the PD. It will be interesting to see how the differing back and sides woods affect the overall tone etc etc on two otherwise structurally very similar instruments...  |
