    Gav, this is coming along nicely and that blue with ash grain is just out of this world!

    Interesting with the black burst. From my colortone experiments the wood does seems to saturate with dye around 3-4 coats so maybe the trick word be to hit the border initially with black, do the blue middle bit then vigorously blend the two whilst still wet (whole process 3-4 times)?

    Yeah that's interesting Andrew. Normally I do all my dying, bursts included, in one single pass. I've never had an issue before!

    Cheers,
    Gav.
