Dyed Curly Maple Hollow Form

Very few of my pieces get names, but this one is The Blue Tiger. It's curly maple, dyed with black TransTint liquid dye and turquoise TransFast powdered dye, then finished with buffed spray lacquer. It's about 5" tall and 7" wide, with walls somewhere around 1/8" to 3/16" thick.

Beautiful job coloring, Vaughn. Shape is right on, too.
Looks like you colored the inside black. I'm going to have
to remember to try that on my next hollow form. Well done.

I'm not usually a fan of coloring wood but I simply love this one. The die sure brought out the figure.

Excellent!

Live long, love lots, and turn fast.

Nice piece! I love how the dye really makes the figure pop in curly maple.
