Quite creative! If you run out of pine and poplar come visit.

I'm not really a fan of dyed wood but it works well here....nice looking bowl..
I will never look at a 2 X 6 the same way again.
That is really fine wood working.
I like it ,and strong patterns will shine from accross the room.
Very nice-how did you get the nice crisp line of dye on the inside of the lip/rim ?

I just dipped a soft brush in dye and applied it with the lathe spinning. I left it spinning for a while until the dye dried so the centrifugal force would keep it from running inward. I may have gotten lucky
