Wow. Looks great, Steve. Those last tweaks with the teal and the clear really made the difference. Rainforest.

I really like the shade of green that was the outcome of mixing all 3 of the other colors. I don't think you could have gotten that from a bottle. And with the finish applied it looks even better. I think there are real possibilities in experimenting with and mixing the colors.

Nice work!!!! Dyed pieces can be nice, but this is special. I'm waiting to see the next one!!
Or maybe Emerald. Reminds me of a gem stone. It seems to me to be a great way to use that kinda No grain wood like maple , beech, Birch, etc.
Great piece.

reds or blues would be my choice
but you did make green look nice...
Steve,
That is a very nice piece. I really like it. It was very interesting watching it devlop. I am going to have to give that a shot. Thank you very much for sharing.

Great looking piece. If I lived closer than 1060 miles SW of you I would come for a visit.

I love how this one turned out, Steve. I think you should keep on playing with the dye.

Steve,
Keep it up! The poly really makes the color much richer.
I may have to give it a try, although I'm afraid my results might look like lime jello or an easter egg
Thanks,
Ken
i agree with George, very nice piece
Steve,
Normally I shy away from putting any color on wood - but I admit I have been thinking that maybe I should try it one of these day. Well you have convinced me that I should. Wow that is a beautiful piece of art. You did good by that wood.
I like it.
Although Green isn't my 1st choice. I do like to ad color to some of my pieces too. I usually use acrylics for my colors. However it now looks like I may have to try some dye's some time.
Steve, That was a success! The dye plus the finish really ADDED a lot to the piece. Isn't that what really determines success? It definitely doesn't subtract from the piece. The color brought out the grain and made it more visible and more interesting. I'd like to see it in different colors.
Alan T. Thank God for every pain free day you live.
Just amazing!!.......georgous piece!!
