here's a pencil holder with a coat of tarkine green, it's an offcut from the blackheart sassafras build. I've never seen grain like it. Looks even better in the flesh

These new colours have a great feature.
They dont stain binding :)
I will be gradually changing the entire range to this updated formula.
As well as the Amethyst I have two new opaque colours at testing stage.
A green that is reminicent of the classic sea foam and a potential butterscotch..
sounds great DB the plans. I also got a brown to beta test which is yet to be named.
I noticed I could wipe off any stain on the binding with my finger while it hadn't dried and it came off easy
Butterscotch!
hehe and I just spent 4 hours scraping binding, you're a cruel man DB!Quote:

got third coat of tarkine green on the body and managed to glue a camphor veneer to the headstock and cut the shape and got first coat on the headstock.
I've almost run out of tarkine green so may need a bit more DB, the 3rd coat was rationed as I wanted to save a bit for the headstock and a light 4th coat on the body
I found a spare ST body I didn't think I had, so got to beta test the 4th new colour, its a brown yet to be named. To me it looks like a deep red oxide colour. This is after first stain coat. Look forward to next coat !
got 2nd coat of the brown stain on beta test lastnight and really digging this colour, its got much deeper and it's like no other brown I've used. It's almost a clay brown that you see in the Adelaide wine region
