Woodworking can be relaxing and fun for folks of all ages. Contrary to popular opinion (formed after watching "the New Yankee Workshop") this great American passtime isn't reserved for middle-aged white men with lots of spare cash! Dive in and enjoy it!

    Keep in mind that with flame maple on a guitar, you actually WANT the blotching to occur. If you use the method described in this video, you will cut down on the contrast that makes tiger maple so awesome. I have another video called Pop Goes the Maple that describes the process I use for getting the best grain contrast. But really, you can just use the water-based stain alone and get good results.
