Yes it is a fine line, but sandpaper can help with most of it.

Lots of interesting things you can do with finishing these days.

Hey Paul. That looks awesome! I assume there's a fine line between burned and charred...:-)

Great looking git. Sounds great too.

Like the finish. I built a amp/speaker cab out of Pine awhile back, burned it with a propane torch and finished it with Truoil. Looked great, you may want to try that on another build. Here's a pic.

Thanks Kigar! The body is what they call a "craft panel" from Lowes. It's just a bunch of pine cutoffs bonded together and planed flat. Sort of a butcher block thing. The finish is Minwax Dark Walnut stain. If you don't treat the pine first, the stain absorbs differently across the grain of the body. From a woodworking perspective, it's not "correct", but I like the look!

Looks and sounds great!  Did you burn the finish or some other technique?
