good idea AJ, try it on a headstock offcut.
It may work AJ, only one way to find out !

Saw this in the Flesh today.
The picks do not quite pick up the colour hues in this build.
It is simply stunning. going through Mauve and Copper hues over the Red/orange base.
The gloss looks to be 10 foot deep.
It is such an amazing piece of work. Well done AJ.

That is stupefyingly beautiful work, AJ. That's what many of us visualise, but few of us deliver. Just fabulous.
Ty for the great comments guys, There are quite few other builds going on atm that are just stunning!
Mad scientist time now.. for the test of fungi creating on wood. I have numbered 4 areas on a cut off piece of pine from my scratch build, will leave the areas for 1 day to 4 weeks in a cool dark spot.lets see what happens..
the yoghurt has been laid!

classic AJ, look forward to seeing the results. Did you use plain natural yoghurt ?
Did the guy at the wood show say the wood had to be any type or maple which it naturally occurs ?
