$10,000 is not enough to do both the belly work and the finish. Not even close. Likely it will need some action work as well if it's going to be a concert instrument. Skip the finish, raise more money and make sure it's done right, not with shortcuts to meet an inadequate budget. It just leads to an inadequate or incomplete job.
