Finish, and a new beginning

The batch of five piccolos will get one or two more coats of tru-oil. I have a difficult time getting them shiny, more so than I thought I would from reading about it.

But underneath them, on the table, are a new set of sides for the soprano I'm making for Grant in England. The wood bent easily, but some oils came out to the surface. We'll see how it goes.

Hi Sven -

See this link on tru-oil, it may be helpful in getting a high gloss from tru-oil. The lap steels in particular are amazing.
