Thanks Erithon, The thing I like about scorching wood is the darkening goes deep into the wood so it doesn’t just sand off when prepping for finish. The thing I most like about this Ironwood is the texture of the wood grain show almost as much as a softwood texture shows after you torch it and then wire brush it.
My first thought was what a wonderful looking textured black binding set this would be. An element on a headstock etc. I’ll be playing with this for a bit and see if I can’t work it into a proposal on a custom build when the time comes.
