About 10 more coats and it will be ready to cure. I'll post all of the finishing details at a later date.

This blog documents my current and some past Bandura construction activities and my comments on the Bandura community in general. I hope to use a lot of pics.
Hi! Looks really nice. Could you please provide more information on what materials /techniques did you use for finishing? What type of finish did you apply to the body and especially to the soundboard? How did you stain the body to obtain sunburst color?
ReplyDeleteWould be nice to know more about your way to do it. I use natural shellac for the soundboard, which is very tedious process, but looks nice and has good acoustic properties. For the body I used Minwax oilbased stain and a waterbased varnish.
Thanks,
Yuri

ReplyDeleteI would be glad to talk to you, as there are only a few people among banduramakers who are willing to share their experience. Sad but true...while internet is overwhelmed with guitar making sites, almost no information about our national instrument.
