I am in the process of making several boxes for my Granddaughters and all of them are Georgia fans so I am making the boxes Red and Black. I am making the first proto type now and I want to play with some wood dye. The wood I am going to use is Quarter Sawn Whit Oak. With what ever dye I use I still want the wood grain and the ray fleck to show but I still want to get a really good red color and black color on the box parts. I do not really have any experience with using dyes and thought this might be a good chance to learn something new. Not sure what dye to use or the type of dye that would be best to use. So any help would be greatly appreciated. I did play with some of the ebonizing solution made with vinegar and steel wool and the oak turned a real pretty black with just one coat of the solution but that did not help me with the red. Thanks in advance for any help and advice. |
