Nice form and a great rim! I never thought that Walnut could bleach that light.

Very nice! I love the contrast of the bleached rim against the dark walnut and the dark lines just tie the two together.

So tell me how did you bleach the edge like that? I guess I am asking how you contained the bleach on a small area like that. Thanks in advance Jared

I guess the answer is very carefully. I paint the bleach on with a small paint brush and just try to let it bleed right up to the edge. It takes about 3 or 4 passes to get the Walnut light. You have to do light coats so it doesn't penetrate too deep. I then use a very diluted white wash and wipe it on and off quickly, just to get some white into the deep pores. Lastly I sand back the edges to clean up any bleed.
The lines are just carved right through the bleach layer to expose the Walnut underneath.
