Did the finish-sanding on the body today, and stained it, then oiled the whole thing. What a difference. The back of the body and the neck are now a shade that MinWax calls Gunstock. Sort of a sienna red.
The headplate and the front of the body are still mostly natural, although a happy accident that occurred was that I oiled all the parts with the same rag, which has resulted in the quilt and birdseye maple having a slight reddish hue to it.
I'm definitely taking pictures tomorrow morning, after I put it back together.
Still to come, more finishing on the fingerboard, staining and oiling the tailpiece, and a newer, much better, set of strings.
This project could very well be done this week!
