Hmmmmmmm.....who would know if your ash was tinted???

as it should be.  can't for the unveiling!

Good news, bad news.  The walnut turned out perfect after sanding.  The ash had sand through issues all over.  The dye is just sitting on the surface, not really soaking in.  So, I'm probably gonna have to sand the edges down and start over.  Oh boy.......

might be a reason Leo painted all those Benderzenders?

I think you might have something there.  I'm gonna sand it back and see what I can do.  I definitely dont have the right materials.  Natural might be the best way to go.

The walnut took the sealer without any trouble.  It's gonna be beautiful when finished.

[sniper]

that would make sense, you have went to a lot of trouble to give this build an excellent natural contrast in woods.

Thanks Sniper.  I have to teach tonight and tomorrow evening, so I'll get back to it Thursday or so.

Ash is not easy.  Fill, seal, tone is the way it was done in the '50s.  In the 80s-90s I used dye stain, sanding sealer and catalyzed lacquer/poly because I wanted the grain contrast in the furniture I was doing.

Well, I won't voluntarily select it as a wood for any of my own future basses.  I'm perfectly happy with mahogany, maple, alder and basswood.

been playing with my new DVD software and taking screen shots ... that one is from the movie "300".

this one is from "young frankenstein" where the Dr. meets his new lab assistant:



i almost forgot, i wrote a prose a few years back about Leonidas at Thermopylae:

Leonidas at Thermopylae
By
Claro

I live to spill you completely
Delicious is my gift to you

Your blood is bitter and pungent
I am sweet to a righteous tongue

Your blindness is unknown to you
Your power comes from fear for your life

My freedom is my lust
Your prison is your ignorance

My spirit is not yours to judge
I will stand with my brothers

Good or evil I embrace either
The more to give me strength

One or one thousand is naught
My sleep is in the lap of my Gods

This piece of prose was an attempt to show the Hedonism and hatred for the enemy by the Pagan belief's of King Leonidas the night before he was going to die.

Beautiful CW, my writing is purely academic and not very poetic!  Well done.
