So heres the big moment! The plates are both glued on and the body is as stable as it will ever be. So you unscrew one side of the two piece mold and you take it out! It looks pretty rough around the edges now but after you hit it with some sand paper it will look great! all the clamp marks and scorching from the bending iron will come right out.

Well oil would be an ok finish for an electric instrument but it would deaden the tone of an acoustic sound board. I plan on finishing it with the same poly urethane I used here: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/3656493/ for lack of buffing wheels for doing a finely polished shellac finish.
I don't like using polyurethane e on acoustics either because it also tends to slightly deaden tone, however the trade of is a uber strong, uber stable finish that I'm already really experienced at spraying. The best finishes to use on acoustic instruments are shellac and lacquer though, because they are lighter and more reactive.

Gotcha. We want more durability and sheen than we care about how the wood sounds :P I have not worked with alot of spray finishes mostly hand rubbed oils though. But that makes alot of sense that the oil would deaden the sound. Would you need a more harder finish to get the better sound or softer?
