johntbyrne Posted November 12, 2003 Report Posted November 12, 2003 Searched and can't find out how to make this. Found one site suggesting it is made from different colors so it looks different from different angles. How??? Quote
Rodney Posted November 14, 2003 Report Posted November 14, 2003 @ ways- Stain your top with a brown dye. Now either scrub it with a rag using water or alcohol, depending on the stains base, or sand it with 220 till the color is only left in the curl. Then go over it with a pass of yellow and Voila!

johntbyrne Posted November 15, 2003 Author Report Posted November 15, 2003 Hey, thanks VERY much. You know, this seem logical and very easy. Any further suggestions for water/alcohol based dye for this application? BTW, found one site that said to mix light color first with some lacquer and spray on, this will seal and dye to non-curl while allowing you to then dye the curl with second coat. Sounds too difficult to get right, and maybe even requiring luck. I like this way MUUUCCCHHH better. Thank you VERY much Cheers JOhn Quote

Rodney Posted November 17, 2003 Report Posted November 17, 2003 Yea- im gettin better with the bandsaw thing I usually prefer alcohol based stain as it seems to stick in the grain better and has more vibrant color. I wouldn't use laquer during any stage of staining. The whole point of multiple colors is to get them to blend and create a mid point. I think sealing a layer would only make it more difficult. To get the exact color, if you choose to sand it out instead of scrubbing the top with alcohol or water, you will need to restain the brown a bit. Take about a 50% mix of your original brown and make a pass to add some brown back into the main part of the curl, then do the yellow. Then you can add light diluted wash coats to get the exact shade you want. Good luck and i can't wait to see how you do Quote
