How to Hand Rub a Sunburst Finish on a Mandolin or Guitar 

There are many ways of doing this, but this is a pretty good method, and I thought I would slowly walk you through the entire process. I didn’t think of videotaping it until I put the first coat of stain on the back, but I caught pretty much the rest of it.  I show you how things can go a little bit sideways, and how things can get corrected. All is not lost, but when staining wood, you must be very confident that it’s the colour you want! With the musical instrument, The Wood is so thin, there is no turning back once you start. Feel free to fast forward and look at different stages, and I invite your comments.

I will post the rest of the Finishing process sometime next week.
