Could you tell me how to achieve this type of finish if it's not a secret. It looks phenomenal! Is there a burst to it or that's just lighting of the photo? Also, grain seems not to be fully filled... Is that correct? I love it as it looks on this picture! Kind of raw but warm and old :)
This is a stock finish directly from Greco back in the 70s. Not sure how they achieved this, either sprayed colours in an oil solution or applied the colours via a water base and then once dried oiled over top. It is a burst, almost violin like in colour, and no filler is used. Cheers!
NP, let me know how it turns out. I have used tung oil on finishes and allowed to off gas and dry for about a month and then sprayed a light coat of lacquer over top with colours and it gives the same effect.

Thanks for the response!
ReplyDeleteI'll ask around forums how to do that then... Can I use your picture as a reference?
For sure!
