Prototypes #6: Is that your natural color?

Almost…I think you might be onto something with the pressure pot. I’m not so sure about using alcohol under pressure….be careful.

This stopper is still cool even though I think we had all imagined the stain different.

Nice work, Keep trying…

There were recent posts about using a vacuum system to stabilize wood.
Your might try that, also. Put the wood in a container with the dye solution and that container inside a larger jar, such as a pickkle jar.
If it will work with absorbing acrylic it should work with a dye solution.

Just a thought.

I like to turn bottle stoppers so I’ve been following your posts.

It isn’t too bad Darryl. I think what you are experimenting with is very interesting. I have a hard time getting exotics with different colors, so a good way to dye wood all the way through would be a great benefit to me. I hope you will keep us informed on this topic. Thanks very much for posting this blog. I liked the stopper by the way. Nice shape and nicely done.
