Made a frame from 3/4" pvc and ply, 2x4 base. Draped plastic sheet over the frame and taped it to the ply bottom. Made 4 posts from the pvc with caps to support the guitar body.

Two cups with 28% ammonium hydroxide set beside the body in the tent got it on ebay. Vapor mask and eye protection is needed with this stuff!!

Hello,

when you interested into fuming wood with ammonia, you might want to have a look at these woods.
This material has been fumed with the industrial fuming chambers at Mehling & Wiesmann, Germany.
