Members Elias Graves Posted March 17, 2010 Members Share Posted March 17, 2010 That's pretty much the same. Actually, not a bad idea as you have to be careful since a lot of grain fillers will shrink over time. Don't buy cheap grain filler. A really open grained wood like oak or something, that would be tough to do. Maple, with a nice tight grain, you could do that easily. EG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Deadbeat Son Posted March 18, 2010 Members Share Posted March 18, 2010 A guy that used to post around here "Shovelhead" did this thinline goldtop conversion for me a few years back. Just yesterday I was just wondering what happened to Don! How long has it been since he's posted on here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BootRoots Posted March 18, 2010 Members Share Posted March 18, 2010 Just yesterday I was just wondering what happened to Don! How long has it been since he's posted on here? i have no idea. I haven't really posted regularly around here for a while now. I thought he also posted on the gear page and tdpri. I inquired to him about doing another gold top with a V but he said he was too busy to take on projects. that was a least a year ago maybe two.

Members newbuilder Posted March 19, 2010 Members Share Posted March 19, 2010 Me too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Elias Graves Posted March 19, 2010 Members Share Posted March 19, 2010 Me too. Actually need to wait and see. The polyester finish is pretty thick. I'll mask off the strip for the binding and see. Chances are I'll have to rout into the wood just a bit to square everything up. Since the sides aren't getting stripped I'll have to account for the thickness of the finish. After the binding goes on, I'll clearcoat over it and move the tape so the clear lacquer will overlap the clear polyester a bit then buff it out. Fear not, it shall kick ass.
