oil really makes the wood come alive with a rich dark set of nuances
and also brings out the shimmering streaks that give all kinds of
illusive effects.
And to share this magic moment with you lot, I give you the usual: a
pic of oil drying.
These last few days have taken this uke from half done to almost
finished, and I know Robin is impatiently awaiting the result of my
labors.
To the left in the picture you can see Thomas' soprano and compare the
raw wood with the oiled.
Oooooooooooooh that's ever so perdy! Does the cedar get the same treatment? How does it react?
ReplyDeleteYup, the cedar gets it and turns to a mellow golden color with highlights the same nuance as honey from extremely beautiful and rare flowers...
ReplyDeleteI'm such a poet. *sob*
