Here's two more micro waved natural edge bowls that were doubled dyed. After turning and drying in the microwave I covered the surface with black dye. Using 150 through 600 grit paper, I sanded back the surface to revile the harder areas that didn't absorb the dye as deeply. This was followed with Behlans colonial maple alcohol stain. That was lightly steelwooled to give some transparency to the finish. Bark was painted black to emphasize the inner bowl. The smaller bowl was cored from the larger one.
