Celtic rubber bands anyone?
You have achieved something nobody else has thought of. Well done.

I like it. It has a tribal look to it.

Anytime we use a material to block a coloring agent we will generate it's pattern. Nicely done.

Great comments! Thanks!
@Curly That's a fun idea. I'll need to investigate it.
@sorins I can see the tribal look... could be a fun idea to push further. Twisting the rubber band a few times might make more breaks in the pattern.
@gbpens Now I'm trying to figure out what materials will make a good blocking material. Rubber bands. Electrical tape? Hmmmmm. The wenge is a bit porous so the seal will need to be perfect for crisp edges. And it will need to come off easily since I won't want to do much sanding and undo the bleaching.

Acrylic paint or nail polish might make good masks. Just turn it off.

Here is another thought (and yes I have it on one of my 10 minute videos of you want to see it live). I have taken wenge and bleached it. Let it dry and steel wool it. Then I use GluBoost master tint over the pen (yellow) looks great. The white goes yellow and the dark stays dark. I love to see all the angles on the bleached wenge. Nice job. Bleaching black palm is also a great effect and bleached Purple Heart goes antique white.
Well done.
