Looks fantastic, and the depth of the finish is mesmerizing. How many different dye colors did you use on this piece?

Opalescent! Man that is glorious.

It reminds me of mahogany granite or black/brown obsidian. Gorgeous as usual!

SERIOUSLY NICE dye job! And, a beautiful turning … If you don’t mind my asking, are those Lockwood colors? Just curious …dan

I agree, it looks like obsidian, a great looking piece.

Im a huge fan of all your work you have it seems an ability to chose the best pieces of wood and color. I recognize your pieces before i read who did it they always make my jaw drop ! The colors are always indescribable although i often feel like im staring through the hubble space telescope at some distant nebula ! This piece is more subdued not my favorite but no less fascinating never hesitate to try something new. Oh I almost forgot to thank you for sharing how you obtain those beautiful colors I cant wait to try it myself .

Thanks for all the feedback.

Dan, I am using aniline dyes purchased from Craft Supply USA.

-- My favorite piece is my last one, my best piece is my next one.

Beautiful! It looks almost like blown glass.

Gorgeous Joe. Damn I wish there were other adjectives I could use. I just can’t think of any good ones. We’ve used them up. Fandamtastic.
