It was straight back to work in the new year so I haven't been online lately, but I have been doing a lot of evening sanding on my other LP-1S build.
Second stain coat has gone on.
For the second coat I lightly sanded back the black edges, then started with the black. I let it dry a bit before hitting it with the orange. Unfortunately the areas that didn't take the black stain the first time around, still didn't take the second coat of stain. Still, I'm pretty happy with how it's looking.
I was thinking of painting the black edges but I'm worried it's not going to blend with what's already there - and I do like the burnt look. The other option I was thinking of was to go over the patchy black areas with the Outback Sunset to continue the burn motif. Something for next weekend.
