Something Different

[Stew Hagerty]

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?

That's very cool! I think records go "gold", "platinum" and then "burl" right? or is it "Burl", "gold", and then "platinum"? it so confusing
great job

Actually it goes "Burl", "Gold", "Platinum", then "whatever, I've got so much money already, who gives a crap"
