3rd example is stunning but that is due to the quilted maple top with some black used for grain popping. Unfortunately the WL-1 is made from Basswood and the only way to replicate that is with adding a veneer.

OK thanks guys for the input - that is helpful. I'll do a bit more research before starting.
I've done a bit of woodwork here and there, but this is the first time I'll be colouring the result, it's a whole new thing to learn huh?
Can I let you in on a secret - I have managed to get my hands on some Dingotone prerelease stain that may meet the brief...
Hey Brendan, that sure does look the biz. How many coats done in that shot?
Couldn't you do a base coat of Black Stump, and then go over the top with your colour of choice?
I'm sure one or two coats of Black Stump would darken up whatever colour you put over the top, but still allow the grain to show through.
Now that ^ is a red stain I would be looking to purchase
From memory 3. It goes on nicely and covers well.Quote:
