Well, due to popular demand it is staying wood. Wednesday I put the last coat of tung oil on it and steel wooled it. Today I put on 7 coats of paste wax. It is looking good. I'll put another 5-7 coats on it over the weekend. By then the acrylic should be in and I'll make the bottom and arm boards. I'll also apply damping material to specific areas and if I sell my PSB's get a new cartridge for it and call it done.
I'll enjoy it for a while and then up for sale it will go. Hopefully, I can afford to keep it for a while before parting with it.
If I get some good light this week, after finishing with the paste wax, I'll post an updated pic.
