    this takes a bit of practice but sure with a practice on some scrap wood you can pull a nice burst off

    I have only ordered the Outback Sunset at this stage - I think this is going to be too light and not sure if extra coates will bring it up like yours.

    Yours seems to be lighter in the middle and darker outside and I am a little nervous choosing a darker color because I dont think DT have a darker color except a really 'blacky' sort of color which I don't think will work??

    I would definitely like to try the burst but could you suggest a darker stain to use??

    I have ordered the intensifier and finishing varnish (?) as well - hopefully you just put these over the stains creating the burst??

    What is the wood that I would have to get to do a trial?? - sorry lots of questions......

    Its exciting and scary at the same time.

    Cheers,

    Alan
