Here is the finished version of this thread: http://familywoodworking.org/forums/showthread.php?t=15901
The hollow form is Maple, 7" in diameter x 3 1/2" high x 1/8" thick, dyed with Black, Teal and Yellow RIT powdered clothing dyes mixed with denatured alcohol (DNA). It has several coats of Minwax Wipe-On Gloss Poly and will get buffed after at least a week curing time.
So, what do you think? Is it worth playing around with this dye stuff or should I stick with natural wood?
