Same redwood burl—first coat of sanding sealer.
Still wet.
Not added color. Same figure from the naphtha wipe, now locking in.
This is where the surface starts to hold what the wood already has.

This grain is unreal.
Redwood burl. No finish.
The character is already there—the process just brings it forward.

Naptha doesn’t create figure.
It reveals what was already in the wood.

Bookmatching walnut burl before any finish touches it.
The figure in this set is amazing!

This is a closeup shot of a coastal redwood soundboard. I harvested this from an old growth stump that was originally cut over a hundred years ago. It was protected by fire which sealed the wood inside a charcoal skin.
Very old redwood from the Santa Cruz mountains.
