unconventional dyes
So, I have been carving some spoons out of maple for some christmas gifts and I started finding some really incredible figure in the maple I was using. So I decided to try out a trick that guitar makers use to pop the grain—the two stage dye...

Welcome to Lumberjocks. The projects are an inspiration, the information is priceless and the people are supportive. The only problem is, the site can get addictive.
God Bless

Wow, thanks for the warm welcome! I had planned on introducing myself, so I may as well get started. I am currently based in Winston Salem NC and I do my woodworking in a garage shop. I do some carving/sculpting work and some more standard stuff, but I love working strange curves and sculpted areas into my work. I would say that I have a style, but I sure couldn’t tell you what it is :D
I like working on guitars, furniture, and messing around with exotic woods. I do some turning (I love it, just don’t know too much about it), I restore and re-scale (handle) straight razors which I have used exclusively for the last few years. I’m kind of an odd duck, but aren’t we all. My favorite wood is probably claro walnut.
Anyway, good to meet you all. Thanks again for the welcome

Hi there,
Welcome to LumberJocks… I joined the site myself a little over a year ago and will give you fair warning, this site is VERY ADDICTIVE, VERY EDUCATIONAL, and VERY FUN…. so sit back, enjoy the ride and learn from the other LJ’s as they are a group of extremely talented people that are also very friendly…
Enjoy your time here on LJ and pass the word to any of your woodworking buddies about us…
