On the web I have seen lots of turnings that are dyed, with an array of bright multiple colors fading into one another.

I'm interested in trying to achive that type of finish, I have bought myself 5 - 2 fl. oz. bottles of Trans Tint Dyes in

Blue
Green
Lemon Yellow
Orange
Purple

The store was out of Red

On finewoodworking.coms website they have a few vids of how to create a sunburst finish, he uses the powerd water dyes. can be found here.

A finish like you would see a a fine Electric Guitar, or Mandolin.

A finish something like these by Chris Pytlik (pic found on the AAw website members gallery)
