WOW! Thats gonna be a good looking instrument! I'm new here and wasn't sure if this was a site just for cigar boxes but glad to see that it's not limited to cigar boxes because I've got some crazy ideas for a few builds that will be based on the concept of a CBG but won't actually be made from a cigar box

Yes, I do have a secret blend of oil and herbs which helps the burning-in and discoloration effect. Actually it's coated in vegetable oil, then wrapped in newspaper, fired with oak scraps, taken out, allowed to cool off in contact with some vegetation, then oiled and baked again in the embers...quite an involved process that needs constant watching. If anyone is thinking of doing this with metal parts or whatever...be VERY careful...it is really easy to damage components and melt them, or melt solder joints etc..so don't do this to your '29 National...OK?, don't say I didn't tell you so.

Did you marinate or apply any BBQ sauce before flame grilling that ?
