Just happened upon this video of a chap refinishing a Les Paul (not sure if he made the guitar too) and doing some really nice relic work. At 3:41 he puts the guitar in a freezer to get things started. It also shows some nitro products chaps here might be interested in.
Wasn't sure there'd be enough interest in this topic to justify a thread of its own but if you've links you want to share I'd be interested to see them.
Nice relic work

Re: Nice relic work
Nice relic work. I'm increasingly of the opinion that repeated but less intense fluctuations are the best route for realistic-lookong fine checking. Will test this out when I finally get to the Strat and Tele on my workbench...
