I‘ll test it, if it looks good, I‘ll go with this for an outer area, middle natural. Then go with dome clear coat.

Hi guys, I used some free minutes today to wet the body with some water. Result is attached.

Right, I don’t have any offcuts. Just was kucky enough to find this body for a good value. I also thought about testing it at the neck position. I‘ll upload some pictures of the watered body abd try to make them more „natural“. But might be sonewhen next week, the weekend is full with kids events.

Forgot the color table as attachment

Yeah it‘s a teo piece body. I planned to start with water to get an impression how it looks wet/deepened. My daughter is three and already into guitars, so I promissed her to do this during summer holiday. As I am satisfied with clou here in Germany, I planned to use their dye. I asked my daughter and she said cherry dark (175) in the bottem left. This might go towards the suggestion of Bizman62, although I like their mahagoni (156). But cherry around the body and natural in the middle, not sprayed might be my decision.

Hi there, I am new and decided to join as I have a question to discuss. I had the chance to get a spalted maple body, which looks really great. I plan to work on it with my daughter as a little project together during summer holidays. Currently I am overthinking different colir options. Should I use a classical cherry/sundown burst or a blue or green based? I‘ve seen bursts going to natural in the middle, which looked interesting or sinply 1 color? I don‘t want to go all natural. and should I dye brown or black first and sand it down to increase patterns? I‘ll attach sone pics of the body. Thanks, Aug
