Age, experience and a whole bunch of stuff ups has taught me to always do a test run before leaping in balls out....
So, here we have various sized timbers milled for a 5 piece laminate neck blank.
Stay tuned for more fun! :)

Stripy bitz stained.... Hope this works!
stained maple looks awesome DB, what colour dye is it ?
nice deep red
Looking great!
Sooooo, dye attempt MK1 was an abject failure.
The dye didnt Mrs Marsh at all (those of us over 45 will know what I mean)
Now have the strips rolled up and soaking in a solution of thinners and dye.
Will see if this works, if not its back to the drawing board.
I'm under 45, but am I on the right track?

that's it Pabs, Mrs Marsh said Colgate is like chalk in liquid.
@ Pabs you are only 44 posts off Overlord Status !
@ DB that's a bummer, keep trying nutty professor !
Alrighty then.
Left the strips to soak in a supa secret blend for 24 hours..
Seems to have done the trick.
Will post some pics tomoz.
can't wait to see the newly dyed rock maple. Same colour DB as the first attempt ?
It came up lighter but when the finish goes on I reckon it will darken up.
Fingers crossed.......
