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??

make sure you use timber with open grain like ash.

stain black, grainfill with red and sand back, then clear coat.

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
