this is looking really interesting!
I see you put nail polish on for the second shot - nice touch
Interesting technique BTW Andrew, keen to see how this works out.
Cheers guys. Wokka yeah it's the burning technique. I used a propane turch, keeping about a hand span away and angling the flame the direction as to push the burn forward. Kind of like welding.
Wow, this is going to be a great effect.

awesome Andrew, no wonder you were worried about doing a Jimi at Monterey.
I'll check out youtube for some 'how to' vids, that's got to be easier than staining it black and MORE sanding !

Maybe! I've got the sanding sealer drying now then that has to be sanded flat without burning through. So yeah, less sanding but more careful sanding.
yer ok Andrew look forward to seeing pics after you sanded the sealer off. Looks like couple of areas you burnt the timber a little too much, the round dark areas ?

Yeah mate on the back there was a couple down the bottom. Blended them in now though. Well, earlier before I put the sealer on. Check out sog guitars on Facebook. He does it a lot on pine and those darker spots when cleared over almost become a feature in their own right.
looks very cool Andrew, we still haven't seen a pic of the front ?
So are you just clearing the body from here ?
