    Hey that's a top job mate, and I really like your photo presentation.

    Now all you have to do is build the rest of them

    Great looking snare Andy.

    The next one will be much easier now that that you have worked out the "technique".

    How did you get such a good finish?

    what i did was use spray on polyurethane, about 10-15 coats, then i wet sand it down so it was almost paper thin, to 2500 grit. then i used some cut and polish for a car, cant remember the brand right now and buffed it out by hand.

    I think i also used linseed oil on it before the poly.
