Travel to Tony the finishing magician.
What you see here is alcohol sprayed on the back and sides. It was a trial to get a picture without patches of the alcohol drying. I'm was not completely successful. The binding iS Boise d'rose which is purple but darkens up under finish. This pic does not show the purple at all. The top was not sprayed except for a small area in the lower bout. The pigments in the rosewood tend to dissolve and bleed and I'm trying to keep the top white. I wish Tony good fortune.
