I really like the wood finish on that. Mind sharing what you used?

Ya I used this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000BZZ3GK/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
 
It took 3 coats of the finish to get the color I wanted though.  3 thick coats that is.  Until than looks brown.  
 
  Very Nice

 
Thanks

  Get that polyutherane on. Then it will be boss.

I will post pictures once I am done with the final product.

.  Also put vibration isolation feet on there so it looks a bit different already.

Early build of another project from the anime thread. In its current state it's caseless....and battery-less since I didn't have a 9 V battery lying around....and the leads stick out all over the place like a skeleton's ribcage because I didn't have my zero-clearance cutters with me.

 

 

 
It's not bad. I can't recall what my Tangentsoft CMoy sounds like since its potentiometer died a long time ago (soldering failure), but it has a nice warm sound to it and the soundstage is pretty natural-sounding (decent depth and width).

Alright guys I have an update on the bottlehead SEX.  I finished putting lacquer on it and also got new tubes and vibration isolation feet.  
And this is the final product.  Well I might change some caps and pots but for now.

  My gawd...that is probably the most beautiful-looking amp I've run across in the Head-Fi realm. Sweet, sweet honey.

Not bad, you need 6-8 more coats to get more shine and really reveal those grains.

 
its not a gloss finish its satin so it won't shine much more than that.  Also the grain shows a lot more when I am not taking photos of it
