Driftwood-ish SC 3 stringer
A coworker wanted to surprise her daughter with this for her 21st bday. I'm only about 2/3 through. This is just a test fit. I guess she loves South Carolina. The discoloration was actually done with a candle lol. The burning was done with an old junk soldering iron.

Thanks! I'm amazed it turned out lol, it was totally a whim. The discoloration, I think, is more because of the soot from than the candle than it is the heat. Either way, it worked! That was a brand new box from Joann Fabrics : )
