I am wanting to do a finish like this
http://www.dwdrums.com/showroom/kits.asp?sKITNAME=exjg-heartwood-curly
I am wondering what the best way is to do this. I have transtint black that I was messing with on a piece of scrap. I am mixing the transtint with water but it ends up looking purple, I used about 2 tablespoons water to between 10-15 drops transtint. I put the dye mix right on the wood to test how it would look. For the burst finish would I spray the dye on the wood or dye the lacquer than spray that? I've never used dye on a project or done a burst finish so this is all new to me.
