I guess this bowl is about 9 to 10 inches wide. It was another experiment with ebonizing and dying. So far I have only applied one coat of danish oil and will add a few more then buff.
Two doors down from the local Harborfreight is a leather shop. On one of my trips I thought I would see what kind of dyes they have and found this stuff. I applied it full strength to a piece of scrap magnolia and then tried to turn it down to remove the dyed surface. This stuff goes deeper than anything else I have ever seen. I removed almost 1/16 of an inch and could still see slight traces of the dye. The best thing is its relatively cheap compared to some wood dyes I've seen and it can be diluted with DNA.
The label on the bottle says it can be fatal if swallowed so keep it out of reach.
