Xring Candyflage

Had to do a lil candy cover up after 5 coats of dye to this highly figured piece.
This stock is truly amazing to look at and belongs to a guy that got me started dyeing wood.

Gotta call a foul, yellow flag! One picture? Really? We are so used to multiple pictures. Beautiful stock. But, one picture..... That's like torture. I look forward to looking at your work, it is from amazing to breathtaking. Once again truly beautiful.

Once again great job Bro. So could a fiddle-back maple look be duplicated with that type of dying the wood ?

Oh my! That’s gotta be my favorite. I would LOVE to see that in a blue!!

What you’re seeing is the wood. Multiple coats of dye (of varying shades and colors) with sanding in between each coat brings out the natural figure.

Got it. Thanks Bro.

Yes sir, existing finish needs to be stripped 1st. I'm using Colortone dyes from Stewmac luthier supply.

I told Jim after he sees this 1 in the sun all the rest of the stocks I've done for him will look like a preschooler did em.
@jghoghunter is doing a blue 1 now, hopefully he'll post some pictures when its done.

Dyeing really makes the figuring in the wood pop. Very nice.

Wow. I would love to see that done with highly figured quilted maple. On a hunting rifle. It would be so cool that game animals would be mesmerized and just walk towards it.
