Staining a Guitar Body Octave Mandolin
We use several different ways to apply color on our instruments. Watch Lauri apply a water based stain by doing a traditional hand rubbed sunburst. The top is cedar and does well with a hand rubbed stain as the stain takes evenly on all parts of the wood. Hand rubbed stains have a more vintage look with a subtle blending that works nice when you want a hint of a sunburst. (Sorry about the poor placement of the camera and the arm blocking some parts of the view). Check out the video here:
