First, A mini torch. And Amber shellac. My wife got me this torch for xmas and I have not used it in the kitchen yet. Its great for lamps though. Practice on scrap wood/ bamboo. Just a light burn. Then shellac. the last pic shows wangi bamboo. #1 no burn/ shelac. #2 just burn. #3 just shelac. #4 burn And shellac perfect! See how the nodes pop. Plus makes it look old. The book pictured above is on Ebay right now. $11.00 And ends in one day. I hope one of you gets it. it will help you a lot. Not my action. Good luck.
