    Nice, good job. Where is that maple from? Looks like some stuff I've seen from the Orient, with that epic medullary ray presence.

    It is an international violin kit. Got the Mando Kit for Christmas. Staining the top has much more challenging

    first-nice youtube videos and playing! those appear a couple years old-is that your father?

    what are the colors/brand of product you used?

    I like how that turned out, I have a kit I plan to start soon and this is along the look I would like to achieve.

    When I did the redwood top on my recent archtop, I did a hand applied red/yellow archtop. I used alcohol based leather dye, Fiebings brand, in yellow, red and brown, used the yellow straight (thinned with alcohol about 50%) and ended up with a 50-50 mix of red and brown to get the colour of red I wanted. I did two wash coats of 1# cut dewaxed shellac (which is also alcohol based) rubbed in hard, so I didn't get much bleeding and blotching of colour. I didn't feel that I needed the shellac on the maple neck, but I did use shellac and sanding dust for grain filler on the mahogany back and sides. I think you might experiment with sealing the top prior to staining, since I had good results with it.
