Looks beautiful. So glad you let the wood be the star of the show, and not covering it up with pick guards and such. Looking forward to the next guitar.
Hi Daniel, I think you build exceptional guitars with the equipment you have at your disposal, well done on this one very pretty guitar indeed, I am sure your client must be very pleased. I did see that you used a different hard wax on this build not the normal Trae Lyx saturn why is that and what is the brand of the one you used also it looked like you used a in between finishing polish this time and the last thing how do you deal with the end grain when working with african limba or korina? Well that's it from me for today, great build look forward to seeing more.
Hi Daniel, I love your channel! I hope you continue to prevail over your anxiety and depression, you make beautiful instruments and are a good tutor! I have a question about hard wax oil for finishing. Have you ever used a grain or pore filler prior to applying the hard wax oil finish? If so, which product do you recommend? Thank you!
Hi Matthew, I haven't used grain filler under a hard wax oil and I'm not sure if it's a good idea to be honest as you want the oil to penetrate as deep into the wood as possible to do its job. If you want to fill the pores I think you should be able to use any filler. I like to use drywall filler for a pore filler which you can colour with any water based stain, paint or pigment. Keep in mind though that the oil won't penetrate as deep. You can also try to use a lighter penetrating oil first. Applying it with wet and dry sandpaper. By using sandpaper to 'sand in' the oil you create a slush from the oil and dust acting as a filler. Afterwards you can apply a final finish with the hard wax oil. Always test a new finishing method on some scraps of the same type of wood.
Every build just gets better and better. Love to watch every one. Thanks for always sharing. So generous.
Amazing! Your gallery is quite impressive!

That is a stunning guitar indeed! Hardwax oil is my favourite finish at the moment. Easy and safe to apply, and it feels amazing!
What brand hardware oil would you recommend?
@@louissorrentino9339 I've had great results with Osmo as well as Rubio Monocoat
One thing I know for sure, it’s a prestigious guitar and need to have one!
It's a beautiful creation! Looking forward to more projects.
Awesome!!
Perfekte Arbeit👍👍👍
Great job Daniel.
What happened to your hand?
Beautiful work Daniel!! Absolutely stunning!

My father always said that blunt tools are more dangerous than sharp ones. Not in your case I think.
What are the specific products your using for the finish? Not using Osmo anymore?
I didn't catch the name of the hard wax oil.
That guitar looks awesome but we never hear your guitar or see you play after they're done
