Hello fellow Penturners,
I have some guitar off cuts I got from a luthier and am working on a pen for a friend from some curly Maple. He is a great guitar player and I want to try and make the pen look like a guitar finish when it's done.
I bought some bright red transtint dye and am trying to figure out the best way to apply it to get that color and the figure to pop. My plan is to finish it with a CA finish to give it that high gloss guitar look to the finished product.
Just wondering if anyone has played with dying the wood while finishing.
Thanks.
Thanks,
