My daughter's long-time boyfriend is in a band called The Hollows (very popular band in NYC) and they just cut their first CD this past year. Well, I had a couple of nice pieces of Big Leaf Maple Burl laying around, and when I saw that their cover art was a tree, the idea for my Christmas gift for him was an inspiration. I custom mixed an amber-red colored GF dye, thinned it down by half then followed with GF medium brown dye, also thinned by half. After allowing the dyes to dry thoroughly, I tried my hand (first time ever) at a French (ish) polish using Qualasole. After I got the hang of it, I enjoyed the process and think it turned out pretty good. After letting it dry for about 3 days, I applied 3 coats of Black Bison clear paste wax. Let me know what you think?
