While technically I could probably have strung and finished it as early as yesterday, it really boils down to how durable and polished a finish you want. For instance, if you were to pick it up and hold it right now for a long period of time, your fingerprints would be sunk into the finish, sometimes permanently. I plan to level and buff the finish later this week. If all goes well, I would string it soon thereafter. But I think that even if it is finished by the end of this week, it might be best to hold it over the weekend to give it a better chance to harden even more before shipping. As always, I'll let you know if anything unexpected happens. :) Right now the finish is hardening.

It is turning out so beautiful! Is it still on schedule to be done by the end of this week? The more pictures I see, the more anxious I am to have it in my hands. It is turning out so beautiful!
