The PineStang
The idea behind this one was to have a Mustang influenced body constructed of southern yellow pine. Heavy contours were added by hand and a final sanding was done with 360 grit paper. The reason for the minimal prep work was so that the harder dark grain would be raised and able to be felt and seen through the finish.
Here's a shot of it when it was about halfway done. You can clearly see the raised grain on the large forearm contour.
