VonPrikler · 04-20-2012, 06:16 AM

I am looking to create just an *extremely* simple, bullet-point "cheat sheet" on the basic steps for finishing a Burst. Here are the basic steps I have so far - any input would be greatly appeciated:

-apply grain filler to mahogany
-two coats of clear to mahogany (over the grain filler)
-two coats of clear to maple top
-yellow to maple top
-red/sunburst to maple top
-scrape binding
-one coat of clear all over (maple and mahogany) (?)
-sand and buff (?)
