Box 21070, Indianapolis, IN 46221 - J 070; (317) 231 -8044, 9:00 to 4:00 Eastern Time. ------ INTRODUCTION I recommend selecting a wood that will absorb the dye to the color intensity you desire. Open grain wood such as pine will absorb the color with much greater intensity than a closed grain wood such as maple. For this project, we selected spalted sycamore that had a few worm-holes because we wanted a deep vibrant color, but also some wood character that would show through. After all, if we wanted it to look like plastic, we would have used plastic. We use R/f® dye because it is as close as the nearest supermarket and is easy to use. ft Pattern Section No. 1! £ Floral Waste 20 • Creative Woodworks & Crafts August, 2003 continued on page 22 designed by John Nelson and sawn by Wes Demarest |
