This is my favorite coloration yet. It’s amazing. It also seems like the smoothest finish you’ve attained so far, no? Maybe it’s just the colors doing that. I’d love to know what dyes you mixed and rough ratios to achieve the color, but will understand if it’s a trade secret :)

In these hot and humid days when we all are longing for just a whisper of coolness…you give us this. To drink it in with my eyes is to come away quenched. I feel as though I could dip my finger into the aquifer, create yet another ripple in the depths and come away refreshed. Beautiful.

Joe, this is a beautiful piece that is truly representative of your signature line. The coloring and finish are simply stunning.

Thanks for all the feedback. This piece of wood always knew what it wanted to be. As soon as the log was opened up, I saw this piece. I still have some more of this timber that I hope turns out as well. Black and Peacock Blue were the aniline dyes used full strength.

I wish I had a good adjective to describe this piece, but it leaves me speechless. Looking forward to variations with more of the same wood.
