I filled the pores twice, especially on the willow, with Zpoxy. It still wasn't perfect, but since I wanted to seal the body better, I sprayed a few light coats of shellac and it is now drying. Maybe this evening I can sand it back and even get on a coat of the color I've chosen, white.

My electric guitar guru, Doug Hunt has kindly let me come up to his shop to learn a few tricks with his tech ed class. Here's a few shots of Doug's class. A few guys were just about completed and were busy with set-up.
Doug does a great job with these kids and has won some nice awards!
