Thank you Mr. Rick!
John, thanks!
My issues with the dye and shading is getting past the final sanding, I'm afraid all the hot sand shading would get sanded away, but of course people like Paul can do it just fine (dang experts!)
With the feathers here, I am getting a bit more comfortable with the sanding and control, but my OCD still wants it all smooth and flat. I just need to determine the amount of over-burning so it is just right after sanding. Certainly the 3D shading it provides is an excellent effect.
Paul says he uses veneers all the same thickness, mine are not, but by doing it up side down, the veneering glue tends to shim up the thinner pieces.
I use tweezers exclusively, no way my sausage fingers can get in there!
