    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.

    Bugger Stan you beat me to yet.... Yet I did have a few hiatuses...
    Gav, looks pretty darn good with the black! Maybe some gold hardware will really set it off with the blue?

    Thanks Callum, if only I could afford the gold kit! Congrats Stan! We needed another overlord to keep Wokks company. Thank god for my thread jackers - they are the ones that keep my posts in the to-be-read lists and at the top of the FB feed. They must be carefully cultivated! hey Wokks??? :P

    cheers,
    GAv.

    Gav threads get jacked because he has a welcoming and conversational style.

    Now Gold with blue would look nice...
