So, I'm moving along building a StewMac Soprano Kit I received for Xmas. If all continues to go well, I should be onto the finishing part in a week or two.
I want a gloss finish. I want to try the StewMac brush on varnish to avoid buying spray equipment just now. I'm thinking of using a grain filler, which leads to my question. Which color would be best on the mahogany? My guess is the medium brown, but I could see the natural as an option. At this point I'm not sure what the difference in finish would be.
Another question I have involves stain. If I were to stain this kit, how does one keep the plastic in the rosette from picking up the stain color?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
