I concur, it is a fine fountain sir! Do you have any particular method for "toasting" the wood for your projects and what grit sandpaper do you use? I'm working on a shelf and am curios about your technique.

Hi ErkNoLikeFire, well I just go from a large grit sandpaper, then Medium, and last a fine grit, all depends on the wood you are using, I mostly work in pine.

I use a hand propane torch to burn the wood, get some scraps of wood and just burn along the grain
you will start to get the hang of it & start seeing patterns in each piece of wood you burn.
go easy at first as you can over burn the wood.

Be very careful with the torch and work outside away from combustible materials!
