triple dye results!

[Brooks803]

Tried my hand at some triple dye blanks. I'm really happy with the results! Some are turquoise, purple, & pink. The others have green instead of turquoise. I did a dozen total, but I only had time to turn down these 4.

Just saw them on Facebook. They sure did come out much more deeper than the first ones you posted. Excellent thanks for sharing.

Beautiful colors...looks like you have dyeing down to a science now!

I just got a triple die in the mail, a triple tap too! :biggrin:

Very cool. I like the 3rd one the best.

What woods did you use..???, I see one full of borer holes and those tend to come out a treat, some people don't go much for that sort of thing but, anyone that like a handmade pen full of character, ain't going to get it with any of the common burls and "perfect" wood blanks, no sir...!

I'm always putting those sort of blanks aside and when I think of stabilizing with colours, I sure have lost to pick from, far too many, to be correct so, I keep selecting a big hand full and throw than in the "pot", adding a bit of salt, pepper, this and that and, I come up with some "interesting" results also.

I like what you did, and they will make some "interesting" pens, I wouldn't mind to see the results, if you don't mind, thanks...!

Cheers

Looks great! I like your choice of colors. Way to take it a step further, but I'm guessing your not done yet...

Thanks Bob! Yeah that one was the softest wood of the lot so it soaked up all the colors nicely.

Thanks George! I'm not 100% on what all the wood types are, but I do know that the one with the worm holes is spalted hackberry. I want to say the others are spalted pecan and holly.

Not even close! :biggrin:

Thanks Mannie! You should recognize the one second from the left :wink:
