ENHANCE your WOOD GRAIN! (new EASY technique!!!)
I found a new easy technique for highlighting the wood grain of your guitar body! (or any wood project for that matter). The key to this technique is to 1) use open grained wood. For guitars, that means ash, mahogany, paulownia, etc (I'm sure there is more I missed). 2) sand your wood REALLY well, up to 400 grit if you can. 3) use a wax finish on top of your stain to fill the grain, and remove it from the wood surface with teak oil. Then spray/rub on your oil based clear coat and you're done!
