Great job!!!!

Those K Special Deluxe models were only made in 1960.

How did you apply the WOP?  Did you sand or 0000 steel wool between coats?

The wipe-on poly was applied with a lintless cloth, actually an old baby diaper cut up into little sguares. I didn't sand between every coat but when I did I used black oxide 600 grit.
   I thought they were only made in '60 also but smomeone said the copper coin dated it as a '59.  It's a low serial number, could it be a late '59?

Its a 60. The left over copper coins from 59 was used up on the early 60's bows before they used the aluminum coins. Lots of Bear employees also used the coins for parking meters. I doubt that Fred approved.
