    I also have the lmii blue and black water soluble dye. What proportion of dyes and water do I need to get this sort of finish?

    BTW (What do you guys think back similar to this but in black and not dark green? Would it contrast with the dye colour?

  2. I get your point. Soon, I will be facing that situation myself. My project will aslso be a flat top but with a flame maple venner.

    The thing I am afriad of is if i mill the whole depth of the body, then the venner will be week.

    However, milling machines are hard to work with and I am afraid of snapping my expensive wood in the proccess

  3. Thanks Monkey, some good advice. I actually have that book so the proccesses and stuff is not a problem. The dilemma I am facing right now is that the design doesn'y seem to be going anywhere. I like stuff such as the implaer, but want sumthing like a tele.

    You understand? Them two dont go so i am just stuck on my table just trying to get a good idea.

    If I can get pictures on I can show the stuff I am to work with and hopefully the body shape and headstock we can work on from that.

    Peace!

    (PS. My project is gonna be in a 25 1/2" scale)
