That raw look is just .... :My OH also said if it was his he'd go clear coat , but and I hope it's not an offence to David's craftsmanship, I've decided on a tinted coat. It's going to be a surprise to me too as to how it turns out. Eddy Gordo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
