Been working a bit on the latest. Mainly just doing some color testing, and drilling the neck for Sperzels and getting Tung Oil applied to the neck. This will be my first attempt at a dyed finish on the body, so I've been playing a bit. Michaelga hooked me up with the bookmatched top, and some different dyes (Angelus Leather Dye, and some water based dyes as well). These are all test panels of the Angelus stuff. Originally, I was going to try to recreate something along the lines of the Joe Perry Boneyard finish, and got some results that are in the ballpark, but I just can't get the darker shades to "pop" like I'd like. I'm sure they will come to life a bit more once sanding sealer/clear coat has been applied.
Here are a few pics. First is my attempt at the "Boneyard" recreation, and some of the playing around I did with different color combinations and a pic of the neck.
