Dyed Maple Vase

This peice was inspired by a thread on one of the wood forums a number of weeks ago about dyed pieces, including a significant link to Micheal Allisons work.

It's a piece of lightly spalted maple that I dyed using transtint (red, black & yellow) mixed with water then sprayed by a Harbor Freight airbrush. I then cut the rim with a japanese saw and then sprayed with with Watco laquer from a can (many coats). Once it was fully cured I wet sanded it with mineral spirits and then buffed with white diamond and wax.

7-1/4" x 4-1/8"
