Attachment 23028 first stain coat of bushfire sunrise
Attachment 23029 Another coat of stain
Looks good
Hi Adam, when I saw 1st post with all the Ebony TM immediately thought it would be another Bondi Blue job to match the others.
Good to see what you have already done and the natural bits will provide a striking contrast. Bushfire Sunrise looks a nice shade.
It was very hard to not do it blue.
3rd coat of stain the top is looking awsome but the back is a bit blottchy, its starting to get a burnt orange lookAttachment 23033Attachment 23034Attachment 23035
Attachment 230364th stain coat, colour is getting close, the darkened grain is showing through nicely
Dingotone seems to work the same way as Shellac, but in reverse.
With Shellac, you multiple coat it, then sand it down.
How have you found the color spread?
I have a ES3 build using Shellac [which is applied in the same method ] but found that there can be places that the color appears dark than elsewhere on the body.
I strongly suspect this is an issue because of the particular guitar design we are trying to finish,[Hollow -semi hollow body] if it were a Strat or Tele, or any other Solid Bodied guitar, the problem of darker areas in the concave sections [ left & right cutout areas, both middle bought's ] wouldn't be a problem
Attachment 23082 a bit of black stump on the neck and sides
nice one Barnesy, coming along well. Some lovely grain on that top !
