Psted this on Sevenstring as well, but any help on finishing this would be appreciated.
Got the body of the bay; one piece mahogany back with two piece thick and heavily figured maple (imagine something like the old USA Custom Exotic Woods series...) gathered most of the bits and pieces and this is how it looks now.
These photos are without any kind of grain enchancement, taken with a cell phone camera.
So now all it's left to do is finish the body somehow worthy of its beauty (swirl it maybe?
)
Have not really decided on the color yet, maybe light blue (transparent of course), or all natural...
Any tips on how to make the grain of the wood pop would be really appreciated!! As I understand, I should apply a dark (black or brown) stain and then sand most of it down to the wood again and then apply the stain of choice... Is this the prefered method?
