Especially on ancient ships and forgotten wood left to the sands of time. All the materials are generic. Here’s my project. Thanks for looking. The Satin Poly is by Urethane. I used the oil base spray. Which will yellow over time. After sanding with 220 I used a torch and did an initial surface burn and Re-sanded. Afterward, I really lit the body up. My next step was to wipe it down with a dry towel. I did that to bring out the shine. Finally, I sprayed three light coats of the poly. Here is my finished bass. Complete with some new TI Flatwounds. Nickel knobs neck and bridge plate. The body was torched to get a shou sugi ban texture. Generic Tuning Machines. For the passive electronics I used USA CTS Pots. Cloth wiring and Switchcraft output jack. Nickel hardware. No stain or coloring just the burning of the wood. Then, 3 coats of poly satin in an oil base which will aid in yellowing. Fender 60’s pickup. Thanks:)Thanks :)Special Edition Build off - Build em if ya got em Winter Build Off 2020 - Final
