Got my new stuff put away and decided to go in a different direction on a piece I had started. This pecan bowl looked like a good candidate for a colored rim. 

First layer with black and sand off. 

Second layer is red and sand.

Next is yellow sand and then touch up with red. 

Now for lacquer. Using Chestnut Stains on this one. More May take a day or two since the winter gets here tomorrow.

The colors on that are coming out beautiful.

Nice colors.  Look forward to seeing the end product.

 

 

Looking good there Gerald.

That's looking fantastic!

 

I had to go back and look at what type of wood you used. At first I thought it was oak.

 Looks great. Are these colors stains or dyes?

Beautiful

The color is called Chestnut Stains but is a dye. It is alcohol base and also has shellac in it . Comes in nine colors. Not sure I will get on it again today as a little under the weather.

Smelling all that alcohol, Gerald, how many times did they have to revive you?

 

Thanks Gerald, I'm going to look into to this. I have some quarter round on my baseboards that need replaced and the red & black looks like a perfect match.

IDK, must have dozed off to have missed this. Awesome color with the pecan. Amazing how if accentuates the grain pattern(s).

I really enjoy seeing your experimentation with colors; always unique and quite enhancing.

Hope you are feeling better by now. Can't wait to see this when completely done

A very interesting piece.  Look forward to seeing the final masterpiece.

I really like the character...
