I didn't destroy/ruin the veneer!!!!

(something about the alt text made this glitch out, so: on a table outside, scrap veneer used to test colors, mixing container, latex gloves, stirring stick, boxcutter knife, phthalo blue oil paint, WATCO danish oil, and blue stained rags, surrounding light blue bird's-eye maple veneer cut in the shape of a guitar back)
The color is actually a bit greener and slightly more saturated than it looks here. The closest I could get to an accurate photo of the color was putting some of the test veneer next to the blue-green side of the guitar itself:
