Ron	Re: Finishing Tweed No disrespect to those who have used orange shellac cut 50/50 with alcohol, but I find that look too orange for my tastes. See the following link for my experience with Deft brand nitrocellulose brushing lacquer on my recently completed homebuilt Deluxe cab: http://www.firebottle.com/fireforum/fireBB.cgi?cfg=dlx&enter=go Also, Bob Sickler's site (http://www.rhsdesign.com/fender51/) documents the very meticulous work he's done on a trio of tweed replica amps, all finished in nitro. Of special note is the replica 'Fender Deluxe - Fullerton Ca' name plate from JayCo Internet Music. A beautiful finishing touch for any tweed project.
