Starting the color process. I'm about to level the top finish. It's a
spirit varnish mixed with dye to seal the top prior to the burst. The
back and neck are just dyed, but I did use a sanding sealer on the
neck. I was quite surprised the flame popped out in the neck like it
did.

Getting down to the real hard
part, waiting for stuff to dry and
cure out.

An F hole carved Cedar top with a one piece Maple back.
I wish the camera could show better, but the top is tight grained and
covered with Bear claw (silking).
