HAR! Sounds like you need a stove lighter or even better a kitchen blow torch  like they use to finish creme brulee?

the   burned  look  is actually   burned   ..  as the  lines in the body are ..  i    just  do  it  with a lighter  and   follow  the vine  .. and set the lighter on   each  leaf   for a while  ..

lucky  , one  lighter  i  have  is  more  like a wind proof torch  .. much easier  for the body burns ,    i  actually  flame the whole  guitar  ..   body  , neck back  and sides , and the  fret design .

and  my  thumb  usually  ;-)

Yeah, I see how that works. How did you get the burned look on the fretboard engraving?

ah ..  nifty  .   i   originally  cut them   perfectly  straight  and smooth on a table saw with guide ..  but  it   looked "too  nice"  and clean    with the  barn   build design    and clashed  ,   so  i  cut  them  with a scroll saw and zip  them through  ,  letting human error   give that   natural    rugged  look  .  matches better   for these guits anyway .

Both had rails, but the roses one was wider. Couldn't get a 4 string from the ivy one (possibly could if rails left on).

Same here...described as hardwood but it's soft stuff that acts more like reconstituted wood really. I can't see how it would add much necl strength or survive string wear without a good protective coating.
