    I've gotten a nice rich brown color on it, but have no idea how
    aside from using a torch - and I find the stuff incredibly touchy in
    re heat - I'm always reticulating it whether i want to or not! So
    far, if I want it flat, I use cold connections - don't know if anyone
    has any remedies for this. Can't remember what percentages I used
    when making my last batch... 

    But here is an interesting site that I came upon looking for
    guidance on how to work w/ shibuichi - http://www.thecarvingpath.net,
    search for shibuichi. 

    The next link is to some photos leading to a tutorial on making an
    inlaid tray from Shib.
