You get more than cured nitro with that!!!

I've seen the sun do some intersting things to maple and the aging is nice, sometimes.

Here she is in all her shiny glory! 29 days to go!

between the nail holes, the worm holes and the fungus it prolly has "aged" enough ...

drbassman · July 12, 2011, 03:55:11 AM

Yep, it doesn't get any more aged than this!

The nitro will prevent mushrooms from growing on the surface.

i was worried about that Dave, thanks.

Aged but not decrepit!

You never know.

Many years ago we had our stereo speaker towers close to the wall backing up to the bathroom. These cabs were real walnut veneer, even on the bottom. There was a slow water leak in that wall that seeped underneath the carpet, by the time it came far enough out for us to notice it, the carpet under the speakers was soaked. When I turned the speaker cabs to dry off the undersides, there were mushrooms growing on the veneer.

Fungi spores are extremely resilient little buggers. Scientists have found LIVING spores inside fossilized rock samples!

I wouldn't be surprised to find living microbial fungi living in Snipers' bass! There are some deep holes and crevasses in there. My wife was funny. She saw the bass hanging in the garage and made a face. She said, "what's that? I don't like it.". Guess she's not a fungi fan. It does "grow" on ya after a while.

Dave W · July 13, 2011, 09:21:45 PM

She doesn't lichen it.

sniper · July 14, 2011, 09:06:12 AM

as long as i don't want to spray myself with lysol and burn my clothes after i play it ... its cool

Dave W · July 14, 2011, 09:20:58 AM

With a hard surface film finish like nitro, you shouldn't have any problem with that.
