Two week further. Heater is on. Humidity below 60%. Fine for me.
So I put 9 of the 21 thin layers I use to spray on it yet.
Amazing colors IMO.

Very pretty, and the colors in the wood looks do look great.

SUPER nice Herman. I do love Claro walnut.
Re: Florentine Cutaway
The interim score
All looks fine. The 21 layers were sprayed 2 week ago. Then I sand all flat with 400# and spray 2 more layers. I never sand before I sprayed all layers.
Now, after two weeks the final two layers are almost flat and can be easily sand flat again with 800P. If you start courser, you have a ot of work to buff all the scratches out.
Well, this is all IMHO.
Now another 2 weeks and I go on with 1200P, 1500P and 2000P. Then polishing compound.

Good advice -- I level with 600g -- takes a bit longer, but trust me on this -- not many things in the building process will tick you off more than 320g scratches showing up during "final" polish.
