Step #2  I wet the top with a damp rag and then lightly sanded it after it was dry with very a worn out Klingspor 320 sanding sponge.  Next I hit it with a stronger blend of the dye to really pop the soft grain and this is what it looks like.  Next I'll shoot some Canary Yellow shading lacquer over the whole body to brighten the yellow up. 

Tonar, is the reapplication of the stain/dye that you describe here only good for figured tops like this (unbelievably nice) flame maple?  I'm starting the finishing for an alder j-bass this weekend that doesn't have a figured top, but I'm wondering if this additional wetting/sanding/staining step would enhance the subtle grain pattern it *does* have.

Thanks for posting the pics and procedure -- very informative and great for us noobs!

These steps were taken to enhance the beauty of the flame. I would not do that with alder.

The Mohawk dyes are top notch.

FWIW,  Behlin is the specialty arm of industrial Mohawk finishes.

When isn't Ask a Ninja annoying?  I thought it was good.  It's always better when you're drunk.  

FYI, I like my cheap Kel-Tec's.  Made right here in my home state.

I like dogs, I just don't like genetic pools of inbred excrement.


Sorry, I hate Chihuahuas.
