When building my chopper's gas tank, I made a recess in it to accept a piece of fitted wood. After seeing a luxury car commercial about polished wood I wondered if I could do something similar. Using some pearl dust from hobby lobby mixed with PPG clear. The mix was very heavy on pearl. Pushing the mixture against the grain worked the dust into the pores of the wood. When the clear became tacky, urethane thinner in a rag pulled with the grain took all the excess off leaving the pearl where it was supposed to be.
Now it will be Kandied red to match the stain and the to-be paint job. Taken out into the sun, the grain looks like diamonds. Kindof a neat touch for a unique tank.
