Here is a video from the fantastic "Tools for Working Wood" site. It is Korean woodworking with no English, but you don't really need it. The first 3 minutes is a very interesting finishing technique that might be cool to try on a guitar. The craftsman scorches the wood, then burnishes off the charred wood with a corn stalk burnisher like Ruobo showed:

If you did this to a Torrified top, would it be Terrified? Beautiful. By the way, those burnishers leave a very polished surface on almost any wood.

Pick your propellant with care, they can burn at vastly different speeds, pistol/shotgun/black can blow up in your face, some of the slower burning might set the top on fire :mrgreen:
