A $10 drafting aid that lets you do a little work on your side gig right under the boss-man's nose.
Or as a tactile aid to daydreaming your stardom, money for nothing, and chicks discount.
They are never free, ever.

Bluegrass music has been strong in Czechoslovakia, now the Czech Republic, for well over 100 years.
Looks like a Canadian Mountie on the guitar.

That was interesting. He's got a few interesting jigs he uses. Looks like he used reclaimed pine studs. Might have been one of those barn-caster challenges. Looks like my mom's kitchen table. Except it doesn't have my brother's initials carved in it.

This is a timelapse video of a Les Paul style guitar that is made of reclaimed wood that has been salvaged from deconstructed buildings in Chicago. The neck is made from an old mahogany table leaf.

If you really screw up the face, and don't feel like it or have the wherewithal to fix it, the are a hundred vinyl overlays.

A few years ago I would have doubted a vinyl overlay would take any abuse, but the green on this truck is vinyl.
I saw it 9 years ago and again last fall... it looks the same.

You don't see a lot of that though. durability may be an issue. you could always poly over a wrap to make it permanent.

I would think so, but, then I'm a tree trimmer, not a painter.

I thought those vinyl (whole car) wraps were good for several years, too, so...

When in doubt, a coat of shellac between. Larned that the hard way

I don't follow, does that mean shellac will stick to anything and anything will stick to shellac?

That's what I keep seeing. That it won't react either. Remember when I put lacquer over enamel?

The finish guys said I could have used shellac between and been ok

I've head that numerous times about shellac too.

Only problem with shellac is that alcohol removes it, and it's not terribly water resistant either. But it has its place.
