Lets get staining!

In order to make sure we got the stain finish we wanted we did some practice on some scrap wood...


To start we add the black contract stain


Once sanded down we added the 'purple'.  This was initially watered down for the first coat


And over time we gradually increased the stain level concentrating on the edges to create a burst effect


Another good thing about practice pieces - This was supposed to be purple, not fuchsia pink.  Sooo glad this didn't get put on the guitar first!
