Dusk is the Opposite of Dawn Side 1

I really like this piece. The contrasts are wonderful. My only suggestion would be to maybe blend the red in a little more subtly. That's just a picky point as the piece is great as it is. Nice work

Thanks guys for your comments!

Mike--I take your suggestion about the red dye to heart. In my defense, I think the red is not quite as intense as the photo makes it appear. But I am very much at the beginning of the learning curve when it comes to dyes. I have on hand some aniline dyes in alcohol, and based on what I've now read and experienced I'm heading towards water based dyes instead. The alcohol dries so quickly that I found it very difficult to control the distribution and intensity of the dye, and too often had to resort to a lot of hand sanding to moderate the effect.

Beutifull work well done.

Regards George

If I had seen this piece of wood, it probably would have been thrown out. But with your eye, a beautiful creation took place. A stunning piece.

Thanks George and Hal!
