Make ANY WOOD look like FLAMED MAPLE! (Wood Grain Hack #2: how to add subtle tiger striping)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 พ.ค. 2020
- Here is a couple of cool tricks I've come up with to make boring and bland wood look a little more exciting! These tricks have worked on every type of wood that I have tried it on (maple, mahogany, alder, and basswood). Here are some helpful links if you want to try out this method yourself:

“If I do something wrong, not my problem”- Dan Thompson. greatest part of the video
timestamp?
the new technique is definitely nicer and more convincing, and it's subtlety means it's less distracting if one does notice that it isn't real, the old trick with the blowtorch looks nice until you get up close, but when you do it looks really cheap.
I'm over the whole burnt wood trend.
But Dan does do some super nice projects!
That's my bad. I got off track with the project. Its now at the front of the line.
😂😂😂 all good man! We will do another collab in the future!
@@GunsandGuitars Let him go first next time! :-)
@Lucas Fowler Looking forward to seeing the project completed!
Dan this is typical for Lucas, he was supposed to send me one of his Eastwood guitars and I am STILL waiting. Hehe oh Hi Lucas!! lol.
Definitely sounded like a throwdown to me!
Can't wait! I love flamed maple but I don't want to pay stupid amounts of money because I don't believe it'll affect the tone so I'm definitely using this as soon as I can find a good ES-335 kit. Thanks, Dan!
Love you videos. I recently dove into guitar building after watching your videos. First ones rough, but the next one is going to be better.
@Clayton Salvigsen ha ha, THAT'S what happened to the old Tacoma Guitar factory!
The Statue of Liberty with a gun and a guitar is, in my opinion, absolutely the most creative and awesome merch design / brand/whatever you want to call it, it's freaking awesome!
Giving away your ideas of how to simulate flamed Maple and other characteristics, you are awesome. May the Lord bless you with plenty.
Ooowwwww yeaaaah... ^^
After watching, I'm less convinced with the second technique: if I had beautiful wood, I would just leave it as is, and if the wood is not good looking... I would use your first method, wich is more pronounced.
And secondly, have you ever done "custom" inlays?
I agree... It looks more like scratches than flames.
HAHA 2:42 - 2:43. I've always said there are three things I can't get enough of: guns, guitars, and cool sneakers. This is prettymuch the perfect channel for me. I will be watching!
I used your technique on a hickory tomahawk handle, using two different sizes of wire and it really looks great, thanks for the tip and thanks for posting 👍
Hi Dan your post on the flame maple effect with a wood frame with screws and wire was brilliant I made one last night.Previously I tried to do it without the frame and it kept slipping off ,what an amazing brainwave you came up with .And your views on sanding by hand is hilarious you should be on tv 🎸🎸🎸🎸
More like: Lucas-liar-liar-plants-for-hire...
Also, yes! Not just one but _TWO_ angry sanding montages! I was stank facing through them both hahaha. Great tips as always Dan!
The angry sanding montage spoke to me... cause I HATE sanding with a passion. Cool video.
Yah, I watch Lucas' channel as well. You guys are both great at what you do!
I miss sooo much your vídeos dan!!!! The Neck is Amazing looks súper sick and high quality!! Nice to see you again in TH-cam
Hey Dan - I just checked out your family channel. Wow. Just wow. I'm inspired and humbled. Thanks for the new perspective on life.
A friends brother put together a blackpowder rifle kit and flamed his stock but used a rope wrap instead of wire, it turned out beautiful.
Mahogany definitely has naturally occurring figure in it...
Yes it can have really nice flame... Not rare either i gues. I have an old epiphone double neck with really nice flamed hog necks. Was not expecting that when i bought it...
Hi Mr. G&G!!!! Wonderful job with top tipps! Thanks for it and greetings from Good Old Germany!!!
Yay for fire!
WooT!
That's sweet every time. I see one of your build tip videos i spend about 4 hours on line looking for kits before i resolve to to many options I'll just have to sleep on it.. But they are great and inspiring video's!!😃
Nice project
Dig these build videos. You got some skills! Not necessarily a fan of guns, although I had to hunt nearly daily and load shells for my grandpa for skeet shooting for endless hours as a kid. And of course 8 years in the Army, back in the day. Only see 'em as work, but do understand recreation. Anyway, thanks again and just have fun, it's infectuous.. not the bad kind either!
Great technique and your torch made that neck look really like flamed maple.
Great man😁😁😁
hahaha the angry sanding montages. loved those!
I'm continuing to watch, and thinking about ideas for my second build (since I just finished my first build). Very fun stuff here. I'm also very tempted to find something old that needs help to rebuild.
I've had a guitar kit for a while now & as I love the "Toasted" look I'm doing the neck as per, but the second effect on the body was a bit pant's if I'm honest, I'd have left it well alone as it was better looking in it's natural finish imo.
Awesome video, you could try light Tung oil over the non toasty lines so you get that light effect that shines if you move it around 😎🤘
That grain hack on the bologna wood telecaster was amazing. I want to try that to make a purple body with gold in the grain.
Great! My future Hawken will look like your quitar!
Thanks!
Cool ideas! Thanks! Hope you and your family are doing well!👍😎🎸🎶
Thats awesome
Cool tip. I hadn't seen either of these flaming techniques. Thanks!
Can you do a diy guide for thermally treating necks at home?
That's killer! Love it Dan!
Nice!!! Looks like it's going to come together nicely!!!
Cool idea and cool tutorial Dan ! Keep up the good work ! Cheers from France !
Nice tips dan!
Guess what, I'm starting a channel!
Have you ever done a video on how to apply a veneer to a body? There aren't many videos on that, and you are a great teacher. I would love to see you do a DIY on that.
I like your videos, they are interesting
Loving this technique! Can’t wait to try it.
This awesome !!! Great video bro.
Good luck on the great kit guitar build off... And Texas Toast invited you to come over and use their shop.
Did you say Guns and Guitars?
Subscribed
Excellent video and info.
Very nice!
I did my gun stock but I darkened it a little more when you add oil to Maple curly wood it brings out the lines darker
So cool! Love the creative things you come up with ♥️
That is the kit I built from Bargain Musician. I love it. I built it a few years ago. wish this video was around back then. Oh well next project my iceman I need to build I will try this
I'd love to build an Iceman copy some day...and an Ovation Breadwinner!
Yo you should totally make a TH-cam video on your Iceman build!
I knew this would involve a torch lol
Have you ever considered putting a headless guitar kit together? There's not much on the market for them it seems, and you're the type of guy I feel that could make the most from it.
Would be sick to see you try a flamed maple fretboard , that's all the hype these days. Cool stuff
Been wait’n for someone to do this (flame). Back in the summer ‘95 I used different size strips water soaked leather (with torch) creating something like Nat Am waking sticks. Mmmń
Amazin man, could you do a video on custom inlays?
Video: Firebird
Me: Stravinsky?
thnx for idea and laugh .
I had this happen accidentally on my neck lmao, idk what happened
I was gonna give you a hard time, but technically there was a flame, so I'll allow it.
I felt like i couldn't see the fake flame as much on the 2nd technique. The burning technique definitely looks cool on necks though
This is a better way of getting actual flamed maple, since the prestigious flame maple and birdseye maple, while extremely tasty looking, is actually a diseased maple tree, and doesn't have the structual integrity as hard maple.
05/09/2020: I love your videos. They are informative and you are very entertaining too. I am anxiously waiting to see the video of you refinishing the Shecter guitar.
I don’t mean to be that know it all keyboard warrior but tigerstripe/flame figure does naturally occur in mahogany as well as pretty much all hardwoods it’s just more common on some species such as maple
I was about to comment that you have kinda strange but also kinda cool name of your channel. I heard "gun, sand, guitar"... Imagine a lone badass desperado on a desert
Please do a video on how you strip the finish off of a guitar in order to refinish! I’d love to watch!
That’ll be part of my Schecter refinish
Guns and Guitars looking forward to it! 🤘🏻
Lernt stuff. Thanks👋
there are several better and easier ways to do this ! but this is the simplest way I`ve seen !
Hey man love your videos and have been around since the beginning!
I have a challenge for you: I think it would be awesome for you to try to make a DIY version of a Manson MB guitar (like muse's Matthew Bellamy) and try to replicate some of its bells and whistles like the kill switch, midi control, high-end pickups, etc...
If that is actual mahogany I will eat my monitor!
That neck is absolutely mahogany. Feel free to confirm with Lucas if you want.
@@GunsandGuitars I'm going with Spanish Cedar
Actually its lauan (phillipine fake mahogany they use on epi's)
Dan! Do you have a tutorial on a basic installation of a bolt on neck? Building a guitar, neck came with no holes and the body’s neck pocket has only pilot holes. Thanks!
Will brass gun blu?
Make headless guitar please 💗
This could change basswood in something like .. quilted maple?
Do a double neck kit
How would that technique do with color stains? would love to see that demonstrated. Thanks
Dan if you every in south western PA hit me up! I work at a campground close to Pittsburgh PA
That sounds awesome man!
Lucas, Lucas, you need to finish your collaborations.
I like the epi genis8s. And Ace Frehley had a double cutaway LP. Wonder what kit to get that doesnt have the switch routed so i might can cut the double myself. I like binding on my body too though. I havent found a genisis kit yet.
WOW BRO!! I'm gonna try this on my boring bland face!!
Jack ~'()'~
You could just use an artist medium and oil color and actually paint the stain right on the wood then clear over it with matte or gloss or gun stock oil and wax etc
...
Would you ever try making your own pickup covers? I saw some cool flamed maple jazz pickups covers on Reverb the other day and thought "yeah, dan could do that for about $6"
Well done again Dan! What guitar(s) have you kept now that you're limited on space? If you built one or two to master them all-what would they be?
not sure i like the second method, looks like deep sandpaper scratches underneath a white stain
Hey bro, could you please do one of those Sugi-bon finishes on a guitar body. Be interesting to see that done.
I have a Peavey T-60 4 piece swamp ash body, sanded natural, that I'm thinking about applying a violin finish on. Each of the 4 pieces are a slightly shade. Will the finish even out the shade difference? Appreciate all thoughts.
Fair winds and following seas to all.
We need more angry sanding montages
can you review a muslady headless kit specifically the 5 way selector switch one
You bet your ass I'm subscribing to a guy named "Guns and Guitars"!
dan how to properly stain a wood?
I feel guitar manufacture do a similar process and sell as flamed.
shoe strings work better than wire! But you got it done!
They gonna catch fire, they are mostly polymer based so they will melt, on neck i suppouse, and burn. Can you explain more your idea
I agree, I feel like shoe laces would catch fire. Please explain
@@GunsandGuitars soak the shoe strings in minwax red mahogany and then wring em out then wrap them around the neck. No need to torch it. You Rock!
I like the jabs you take a Lucas Fowler. I've watched a few of his vids, they're okay I guess. I think the funniest part is that you didn't put a link to his channel anywhere.
I guess you didn’t get make it to the end screen 😂
Hey Dan, need a new rotary tool. Found a WEN kit with bits & extension cable on Amazon. Any thoughts on that tool?
can you give me the first techniques video link??
the one where you flame maple the body of a strat
It’s in the iCard. Or just search my channel for build your dream hh super strat
@@GunsandGuitars thanks
is it the red one that you bulid with 47 pickup possiton??
The only burnt guitar that I want is the guitar that Jimi burned at Monterey pop festival.
What am I missing? I don't see any flamed anything in the 2nd technique. All I see is a white haze with very unconvincing lines in it, as if someone dragged a paintbrush through almost dry toothpaste that was smeared everywhere. 🤷♂️
Hey, have a cool opportunity for you to think about. In case no one has mentioned it to you. Texas Toast Guitars in Denver CO is doing a week long guitar body building classes. One ever day during the week of what was suppose to be Summer NAMM (July 6-11) They are offering to host TH-cam content makers with 5k plus subs to come to their shop that week and build a guitar body from a wood blank to a shaped body with finish on it. If you are interested, go to their Facebook or TH-cam channel to get ahold of Matt, or even PM me and I will pass along his info.
I'm not convinced by the 2nd technique, looks fake through the camera lens. I do plan on using the toasting technique some day.
Hey Dan I have a question for you, ok well maybe two lol.
1) Can you take an already finished neck, fret board and all already on it, and turn it into a roasted maple neck? I have a couple of maple necks here and wanted to do this but people said it would ruin the fret board.
2) Can you, would YOU, recommend taking a regular Gibson Les Paul and shave the neck heel joint down to make one of those access carvings IF the guitar has the short neck tenon? Again, I have been told you MUST have the long neck tenon in order to do this. I have a 2016 Studio that someone messed the finish up on and I am going to make a few changes to it, I already put a belly carve into it, which I forgot about the chambering as I did this and yes I ended up having to fill in where I ended up going through the wood lol. But that has turned out fine, I am just curious about the access heel with the short neck tenon.
I always worry about resale value when I contemplate body modification. On an Epiphone I'd totally try it, but a Gibson I probably wouldn't.
Oh I just saw you already did some carving on the belly and filled in the exposed chamber...so I'd say just do it man!
And if I may make a suggestion...such a project would make a cool TH-cam video!
@@PinetopJackson Yeah I was thinking I should have filmed it lol. Man, I tell ya what I was going along good using my grinder shaving off that mahogany for the belly cut and I started noticing a dark spot, I thought it was just the wood, then I kept going and the dark spot was getting more elongated, again I thought it was just the wood, then it got to be about 5 inches long and started widening a bit and then I thought, "hmm maybe I should stop and see what's going" . Lol then when I saw that what I thought was just a darker grain was actually the blackness from inside the guitar, my heart sank!! OK, It's just a Studio, but it's still a Les Paul!! Then I started to get angry and lost my memory of how Gibson's are built because I thought they were ripping people off!! Then I remembered the chambering and well that's when I had my, "well there ya got dipshit that's what ya get" lol. Everyone I told about it freaked out!! Oh it's ruined, Oh it's destroyed, Oh throw it in the trash... so and so forth were the oh so encouraging remarks lol. But I just decided to work on it and fill in the spot and work it back to the surface and it should be OK, which it was. Then I talked with Austin (Trogly) and he said that I should not do the heel access because the guitar does not have the long neck tenon. Now to be honest, he is the only one to say that, then again he is the only one to reply lol. I would love to see inside a guitar that has the heel access to see if it does indeed have the long tenon or not. But I finished the guitar with the top being a sort of black and multiple shades of silver into a marble type of a look, the sides, back and neck I slightly "greyed" some black and then flicked on some silver here and there to sort of give it like a starry sky type of a look and also you could just slightly see an impression where I had filled in on the belly cut so I thought the flecking of the silver would help hide that, which it did. Then I sprayed on the Nitro and let her dry up, assembled her and when I got here from Austin it just had some junk Epiphone pups in it with the quick connect PCB system, lol the guy just shoved the Epiphone pup wires into the spots on the board connector then used electrical tape to "secure" the wires. I found on Reverb a guy selling a set of 2016 490 series, which is what the guitar originally came with and since they were the same year of the guitar that made it better! He also threw in the PCB board that came with the pups which also had push pulls, the original board did not have those so that was a nice upgrade! OK, so about 2 year old pickups (I bought them from him at the end of 2018), the PCB board with push pull pots, Guess how much? Austin told me that would be around $250-300, I got it all for $125!! LOL it all works just as it should. Anyway, my original intention with the guitar was to make my own Custom, I was even going to attempt to put binding on the body, after the belly cut incident I decided against that! Finally after 3 months of working on it, 6 weeks just to repair the belly cut! It was all done and ready to go and then a week after completion I started noticing a crack in the finish by the bridge volume knob, within a week I had several cracks, like finish cracking on an old guitar gets, by the end of the month they were all over the guitar!! I have spoken to numerous people who paint guitars and no one has yet to really say "this is why it happened". My conclusion is that the metallic silver's I used must not have been fully dried and so they began to shrink and this caused the cracking. Many people agreed with my conclusion so I went with that and decided to not use that paint again lol. Now, guess what? I can't stand that cracking so .... yup, I am going at it again lol. Originally I was going to paint the guitar white so I am thinking of doing that, but as I began removing the finish I had put on it I noticed that the cracking goes all the way through down to the bare wood, so now I am thinking that the entire issue was with the primer I used! To be fair, I bought the can of primer at a place that sells cheap stuff here locally and I only paid like fifty cents for that can of regular Krylon grey primer, but I think there was something wrong with it. I have the guitar all down to bare wood again, this time I am not going to use the PCB board stuff though, I don't like how they sound and I guess numerous people have the same issue with their's. They just sound very weak and you have to have them on at least 7 to start getting the full sounds of the pups. I have a set of DiMarzio super distortions I was considering putting in, what do you think about those in a Les Paul? So now that it's back down to the bare wood I am touching up my belly cut mistake and considering the neck heel and I would still love to put binding around it but I honestly don't have all the proper tools to do it, I have what is needed but they would be a sort of "this should work" type of things. But that neck heel is driving me crazy lol. The guy who Austin got it from had removed the factory finish and he went nuts on the neck and the treble side fret ends extended past the wood, he sanded so much of the wood off he exposed those ends too much, that took me 3 days to fix that situation and I am still not 100% happy with the results. Whew, sorry to go on so long there bud...
You can also try to do the strips with bleach
Come on Dan, make a flint lock gun by hand. A swamp barbell one .you can do it your wife said it's ok lol $$$
I would but I can’t post a video on TH-cam. No “firearm manufacturing”
