    Yes, I’m quite liking it. It’s about the right balance of teal now, and there’s plenty of contrasting blue and green areas. It’s quite shimmery when wet, so I reckon the finishing oil will bring that out nicely. Will be interesting to see how it looks with some oil on.
  2. Bridgehouse
    A couple of green coats, and wetted to bring out the colours - with cream fittings….
  3. Bridgehouse
    Have applied a couple more coats of green. It’s close now. Need to order some finishing oil and then we can move on to assembly…
  4. Bridgehouse
    Some sanding later and wetting to show the colours as they would be with oil/finish applied… I think a few more coats of green..

    So, situation this morning before any work:

    Plus, the Blue seems to do a good job of darkening the grain quite a bit anyway…
  7. Bridgehouse
    No, I decided against it, as the black experiment showed a lot of contrast, and I preferred the straight blue then green..
  8. Bridgehouse
    Well, I’ve now given it a sanding down to 1200 grit, and another coat of Blue. Its drying, and if I can get a half decent shot tonight then I will do

    To be fair I was surprised this thread wasn’t in the classifieds…

    Ze flashing knobs?
  11. Bridgehouse
    What? The new basses? This does not surprise me.
  12. Bridgehouse
    First sanding down done - 120 grit wet and dry. Here it is damped to remove dust and check evenness…

    Private Eye quotes now, huh? 😃

    Also started the long and drawn out process of Danish Oil on the neck..
  15. Bridgehouse
    Yeah, back looks a bit different - it’s cos it was done first and thus had dried more. Will post shots when it’s dried.
  16. Bridgehouse
    Enough is enough. I can’t keep staining bits of offcut. So, here it is with the first coat of Phthalo Blue…
  17. Bridgehouse
    I’m trying another blue/green as I am also leaning this way… maybe even with a black base sanded back then blue, and then a green highlight
  18. Bridgehouse
    Coat! Out!
  19. Bridgehouse
    Yeah. I quite like that too. I’ve tried a few more since then as well. There’s lots of nice colour combos but I am thinking either Ph Blue/Black or Ph Blue/Green
  20. Bridgehouse
    A few more for your consideration - these are under artificial light tho..
  21. Bridgehouse
    Got me knobs out for some comparators. Have done a bunch of other colour combos (post sanding) which I’ll photo later..
  22. Bridgehouse
    Just for completeness, here's the other colours as a single set with the same dilution in the sun:
  23. Bridgehouse
    Only one coat tho.
  24. Bridgehouse
    I’ve got a few that I want to try - bit open to suggestions now.. any colour combos or things you’d like me to try with the stains?
  25. Bridgehouse
    Final one for today - Added Phthalo Blue to the sanded Black:
