Nice! I've never stained any of it but the grain is nicely figured a lot of the time. I wonder how cypress would respond to dye black and sand technique to pop the grain?
I'll have to give that a shot, maybe on the MAX Fiver.
Another great day for painting, mid 60s and 30% humidity. Pretty rare down here. I completed the refin of Nick's G8R Eighter after a long delay. Pelham Blue Poly under nitro clear.
Here's the before, sanded and filled. This is what happens with incompatible acrylic lacquer color and nitro clear coats. Clear shrinks and gives a crappy crackle effect. Would have been fine under acrylic clear.
Gray polyester primered G8R, JAEbird and EBird.
Sanded to 320, white primer coat, color coat and two double coats of clear. Good afternoon's work.
