Thank you for your help WildTele!

Your generosity with your knowledge is much appreciated. When smart people talk, I was taught to keep my mouth shut and listen. I've re-read your comments four times now, and I will be referring back to them as I proceed.

Cheers,
Motor

PS - I applied the light Bartley grain filler using the instructions ehawley posted on his 53 cnc build thread. I am biting my nails. I took pictures of the process (including my test chunk of ash). I'm a little nervous about this part of it. If you'll bear with me, I would like to refrain from posting pictures until I have had a chance to sand off the grain filler. It looks very dramatic and brown right now. The grain is popping nicely, but you can't really see it because it looks like someone smeared the guitar body in reddish-brown pudding. If it works as nicely as my test strip, all of that will be sanded away, and what will be left will be the nicely filled grain. At least I hope.

This stuff is sticky and nasty, that's for sure.
