Thanks for finding a compatible dye for the oil - I had not been able to. Very cool!

Thanks Ken - I have studied that video dozens of times ! It is the best resource out there but still leaves a lot to the imagination..

The burst is going on tomorrow. I will post up pics once it is one!

Now for a good nights sleep ...

Totally agree -- I had not even thought of a wipe on burst.

Its going well!

There are some areas on the upper bout that are refusing to take much dye so it looks a bit splotchy, but that is half the charm for me! Hardest thing at this point is building up the darker areas without losing any of the brightness of the middle of the burst, and yet making it all transition seamlessley.

More pictures to follow. Gona make the edges a little darker and the middle more defined.
