I thought I would post a few pics of my first burst. It's very local Western Maple and WR Cedar L-OO. Lumberyard walnut 3 piece neck. I wanted to post this mostly to thank Haans for his technique with bursts. It's a great method if you have wood you don't want to cover up. I haven't seen you around for a while Haans. I hope all is well. Also, thanks to the ever practical Padma for recommending a very reasonably priced and perfectly adequate Paasche airbrush.

As always, I learned a lot on this one. This one had it's share of boo boo's. I weekend luthierized this one and that doesn't seem to work too well for me. I do better if I get in the groove and stay there. Fortunately once you get it all shiny, a lot gets overlooked.
. The next one will look better though.This is my first go with Cedar and I very happy with it. It was a very stiff piece and I like the outcome.
Thanks for looking.
Cheers,

BTW The treatment on your latest little beauty is pretty stellar. Lots of cool contrast. I'd love to see that one up close.
