so ... I had planned on going down the hand rubbed tobacco sunburst finish track for the project
I decided to use 3 DT stains - colourless, outback sunset and black stump ...
After watching a few examples of people showing how it's done on Youtube I tried it out ...
After an hour or so of mucking around, I ended up with a look that I'm pretty happy with ...
... nothing like a proper sunburst, but I really like the effect that I've been able to achieve.
I'm letting it cure and plan on just finishing now with some TO.
