bscur Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 I am interested in how to get that tobacco sunburst yellow to almost black finish on mahogany like a Les Paul Junior. Do you have to bleach the wood? How does mahogany get lighter and yellow? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSm Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 experiment a bit, but as I understand things, dye sits near the surface of the wood and certainly where darker dyes are, you can apply a lighter one over the top to lighten the colour. eg yellow over a darker amber looks yellow. So as a first step try dying some mahogany yellow and seeing how it looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
