Mark's posterous

Well, I've tried Twitter, my own hosted web page, and emails, and to date this is the easiest way to quickly post pics and short comments. I'm a Christian, a dad, a Grand dad, a husband, a friend and hopefully seen as doing all faithfully most of the time. I'm middle aged and as I've said for over a decade and a half, my part time job is working for the government, my full time job is getting to know Jesus better.

New fuel pump and carb kit

i'm going to replace the tank and lines with new hard line. Bigger, faster, prettier. What can I say. The entire fuel system will be upgraded.

cordovan red aniline dye mix applied

you can see what it will look like now. This is the dye in the wet stage, and is what it should look like after the lacquer is on. I have to agree with the posts Iv'e read that say once you use aniline dyes you won't want to go back to stains. The dyes leave so much of the grain in tact and ready to pop out.

yellow aniline dye applied

I bleached the mahogany to lighten it. First I'll apply the yellow aniline, then a red transtint-shellac mixture. If all goes well it wont be to dark in the end.
