Now I slap some lacquer on that puppy. Its too small to do a multi colored 'burst. The future owner likes it so that's all that counts.
I don't hate it, so I can move forward now.

Nothing wrong with a single color burst and that turned out to be the right fix.

Alright. I started to hate this burst. It was not what I wanted to do and I really did not like covering up so much beautiful wood. Also, I got a lot of negative feedback on it, so I sanded it off.

As of right now, this is one idea I have to cover up this goof but leave as much wood as possible exposed. Any and all suggestions are welcome.
The penciled in area will be black.

So it looks like I am back in business once I make the three pieces into one soundboard. Now for a rosette and stuff.
