badsnap Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 I am considering a voodoo type finish for an upcoming project and am wondering if anyone knows how to achieve the effect that Gibson gets on their Voodoo series guitars?? It looks like they stain heavy red, backsand, and then stain black?? If I do this do I need to avoid the grain with the black stain?? Perhaps the red is really heavy and the black is really thin and translucent??? Anyone posses this knowledge?? Voodoo Series Gibsons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dash Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 make sure you use timber with open grain like ash. stain black, grainfill with red and sand back, then clear coat. cheers darren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badsnap Posted June 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 Thanks Darren...I am intending on using swamp ash so I did a search on it to see who else uses it (I know it's very common but I wanted to see other examples besides someone who is trying to sell it to me) and came across the Voodoo line. I love that effect. Thanks for the info...just what I needed...Rog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
