the burned look is actually burned .. as the lines in the body are .. i just do it with a lighter and follow the vine .. and set the lighter on each leaf for a while ..
lucky , one lighter i have is more like a wind proof torch .. much easier for the body burns , i actually flame the whole guitar .. body , neck back and sides , and the fret design .
ah .. nifty . i originally cut them perfectly straight and smooth on a table saw with guide .. but it looked "too nice" and clean with the barn build design and clashed , so i cut them with a scroll saw and zip them through , letting human error give that natural rugged look . matches better for these guits anyway .
Both had rails, but the roses one was wider. Couldn't get a 4 string from the ivy one (possibly could if rails left on).
Same here...described as hardwood but it's soft stuff that acts more like reconstituted wood really. I can't see how it would add much necl strength or survive string wear without a good protective coating.

i gotta admit .. the burning is my favorite part.. ... if my thumb forgives me ;-) (i usually burn it in the process ) lol.
the burning is ace... texture and dimension are perfect. i do love the burning
lol a mini him bug-ger ! ;-D
but then i get no sympathy for the burnt thumb ;-}
HAR! Sounds like you need a stove lighter or even better a kitchen blow torch like they use to finish creme brulee?

Yeah, I see how that works. How did you get the burned look on the fretboard engraving?
