I bought a curly maple baseball bat blank last weekend at Woodcraft. I want to cut it in three 12" lengths, and make rolling pins. The curl in the wood is very light, and I want it to show more intensely so I thought I would dye the wood with a brown stain or dye, then sand it back, so only the ribbon curl shows the dye. I am just trying to pop the curl, not make the dye really obvious. Any suggestions on which dye/stain to use, and how to use it. What sandpaper grit would you sand to in preparation for dyeing? TIA for the help.
