ryeisnotcool2 Posted June 9, 2003 Report Posted June 9, 2003 im building a walnut back with mahogany neck and top . its gonna be hollow and id like to get a transparent white color for the mahogany neck and top. Kinda like pickled oak if youve ever seen that. i think it would look nice with the purple heart fret board and the walnut back. is this finish possible? and does anyone have a pic? thanks Quote
Brian Posted June 9, 2003 Report Posted June 9, 2003 Is this something like bleaching the wood? Quote

the third eye Posted June 9, 2003 Report Posted June 9, 2003 Which Pickling or Bleaching both!(to do with wood) i know about them in other contexts(obviously) probably just my lack of experience on woods though :ph34r: Quote
Brian Posted June 9, 2003 Report Posted June 9, 2003 You can usually find products for bleaching wood in hardware stores, it is used for making the wood lighter or helping remove stains. Nasty stuff though............ Quote
the third eye Posted June 9, 2003 Report Posted June 9, 2003 ok thanks, that's what i assumed :ph34r: Quote
vh-guitarstore.com Posted June 9, 2003 Report Posted June 9, 2003 what he is talking about is an old school furniture finish similar to whitewash or milk paint....you should be able to find the supplies on woodworker.com......its not bleaching.....you could also just do a transp white Quote
ryeisnotcool2 Posted June 9, 2003 Author Report Posted June 9, 2003 yeh its the furniture pickling! but the meat looks good to! i guess i could try the transparent white, but i dont want it to white just a little so i'll probably just get what i need and experiment. im gonna do the white mahogany with purple heart binding and a purple heart fret board with a white maple binding. it should look pretty cool! at least it does in my head! so all i have to do now is get it from the head to the wood! thanks guys Quote
