Hitone Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 Has anyone used an oil finish over a white or light colored binding? I am getting inconstant coverage. Some area are white, while others are more yellowed. The body is stained black and I have been fighting to keep the white clean the whole way. I realize it will probably look amber or yellowed, but it's all over the place. If you have any tips or tricks please help. I will post some photos shortly.

Hitone Posted August 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 Okay, I just read that you can spray Tru-oil. I did not know this. I was really hoping to get a great hand rubbed finish, but it's not coming out as good as I thought it would. I am going to try to shoot it tonight and see how it looks. BTW has anyone else noticed that the search on PG doesn't work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let it yellow Rob, it gives it that antique look. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prostheta Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 Airbrushing an amber-ish tint is probably the easiest way to artificially give an antiqued look. Not done it myself, but have read many sources around the webses that have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkAvenger Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 Or for a whiter brighter finish, after you've built up a good base, carefully scrape the finish off just the binding and apply a thin final coat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
