G'day mate, been a bit busy lately and just catching up on some threads.

Presume that darkness is Timber mate? Make sure you wear a mask when sanding it back as the fine dust is not very nice up your nostrils.

Never done a burst but it would seem that lightest colours go down first and gradually bring the darker ones in from the outer edges. Nice example to emulate and hope it comes off for you.

Hi Waz,

No worries, it's been a bit of a slow process for me so I haven't been on too often.

Originally it was a lighter oak colour timbermate that I filled all the pores and sanded it at 180. We then changed our minds and decided to pop the grain with black ink which I am about to sand back with 180, 240 and possibly 320 depending on the stain I will be using to make sure it takes to the wood grain. If its left over colour tone I know I can easily go to 400.

I'm waiting on my brother to decide on a colour but some sort of burst like pictured above maybe. I have ordered some Cosmetic Grade Natural Mica Powder Pigment Soap Candle Colorant Dye so I'm waiting for that to arrive. I saw DB recommend the stuff in one of his posts.
