    Around here anything with Greenbay Packer colors goes!
    Half way between the north pole and the equator!

    That has some nice color and can see why they sell.

    Never put off until tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow.

    I just picked up some figured maple blanks from Rockler...to go with my growing assortment of "yet to be made into a..." stash..but I think I want to try this. Between my wife and I, I think we have enough dyes to create something funky and fun. Thanks for the inspiration!

    Chris, I hope you have fun playing with color. I will forewarn you though, it is one of the fastest ways to ruin a chunk of wood that I have found, so proceed with care.

    Very bright and lively colors. I use colors frequently and really enjoy them but there are times when I should have left well enough alone. As long as it is not finished you can change it and I think it's really fun to see what you can create with color. I like that you have mixed the colors. Have fun.

    thanks Ian, but there's so much wood waiting to be turned into something that I can afford to screw up a bit...time is all I need, which i can't have it seems
