Hacking the Gibson, Part 3

DSC_1592
Ladies and Gentlemen, we have flame maple. I took the finish off yesterday using paint stripper and did the initial sanding to smooth it out and see what this wood was about. Well, I would definitely say that whoever built this pedal steel never intended it to have an opaque finish. The front side is a beautiful piece of flame maple, the same kind of wood you would see on the top of a Les Paul. It looks amazing and I haven't even finished sanding it yet. Thats all for today but I'm hoping to have it fully sanded by the end of the week.
