We had a catalpa tree in our yard where I grew up. This brought back great memories of that tree. Thanks for posting it! Great box!

I really like this! So you use the food coloring as a dye? How well does it penetrate the wood?
Great Job! Really great looking box. Thanks for sharing.

It gets soaked up pretty quick when you apply it. I rubbed it in with a rag. It does raise the grain, because it’s water base.

Great little box Hairy, very artistic! Thanks for the food coloring tip!

Hairy, that’s great work and so realistic and the colors are beautiful. Not only are you a fine woodworker, you are also an artist. Congratulations.
