So I got slightly OCD with my neck joint transition.


Then I evened out the heel to neck shaft transition. When I sanded it finer and wiped it off with gum turps I noticed this..







It appears to be a very faint Birdseye maple pattern, not a classic Birdseye effect but still, it means I’m going to have to treat it better than just whack black over the top of it.

The tobacco burst is still going to happen but that it might have to echo something a bit more like these,




not sure of whether to use acrylics or nitro lacquer or enamels so any advice from anyone whose done a burst would be appreciated.
