OT: rockford liquid light emulsion on cedar
Matt Clara
The red oak image needs help:
http://mattclara.com/misc/ukuleleunderground/liquidlight_on_redoakSMALL.jpg
In both images, one part of the grain soaked up the emulsion and showed less
of the exposed image there, but the oak has more of the porous grain to soak
it up.
I'm building a cigar box ukulele and intend to print images on it, so these
were tests to see how well the stuff works. I'd say it works well.

Aren't you supposed to primer wood if you use that stuff on it?

Not OT here (r.p.darkroom) at all; you're exposing photosensitive
material in a darkroom, right?

I like the red oak image, it has real depth.

Wood grain. ;-)

Can you pre-treat the wood to reduce absorption without losing the wood
grain?

More with the Cedar than the Oak, wipe the surface down with some MEK to
remove the resins, before you apply the emulsion.
You also might try bleaching the wood to produce a lighter background.
Obviously wash well.

Already am. Next round I'll give it two coats of poly instead of one. As
I'm making a cigar box uke, you don't want to damp the top and bottom too
much.

I thought someone would give that rePLY. Moust be board.

Is it actually desirable to have a "clearer" image?
I think the mixture of image with wood-grain looks pretty cool... like
the image is somehow embedded in the wood.
