Great ideas everyone, even the white paper. I am adding some pics to this, here are the sides with white paper (or as close as I could get) with close-up shots also.

Here is

Hope this helps !

Yeah, you can see the color difference better now.

Before, the 'sheen' as well as color were making it harder to discern the color change.

Excellent job!

Not sure what you did to get such fantastic results on your piccolo using the laquer method. What did I do that was not correct?

I think your looks better than any of the trials. Some insight for everyone on the technique please.

This is a great idea and wonderful follow-through. I cannot tell too much of a difference but it could be my screen. I actually sort of like the aging yellow but this is good to know it can be done. I appreciate the effort it took to put this together. Thanks!
