I’m really happy with how it came out. Adding the scroll was the right choice.
I used orange shellac on the walnut and garnet shellac on the walnut rim. The coffee on the goatskin came out darker than I thought it would, but it ended up being perfect. Laying down the shellac with the scroll in place was a bit of a pain. It might have been better to finish the peg head and the scroll separately and then glue the scroll into place.
