    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..

    There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....

    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

    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
