Oh, cool. The ones I have done were usually the flyleaf from inside the box. Paper is very unforgiving and very hard to get right.

I print the photo on 3M Ful Sheet Lables, spray a lite coat of sealer on it. Once applied, I do only a couple of coats of matte ( wipe on) poly. I personaly don't like high gloss finishes. I had a couple get rained on a few weeks back, and they came out fine.

Yup, that rocks. I've done some applique headstocks and they have always been a pain, getting a good finish. Got any tips or a brief description of your method?
