A.B.Chase soundboard

[Greg Newell]

Roy,
    An interesting notion. I just finished dying the whole board after first
painting each shim with a less diluted formula of the dye. Not too bad. I'm
guessing that once I shellac it it will be o.k. Perhaps I'll try this first on
a shim that will end up under the plate. Thanks for the tip!
