Need to dye some HOT PINK lams, HELP!!
« on: June 26, 2012, 10:08:00 PM »
I need to dye some HOT pink lams for a gal and her grandfather, any ideas on what color to use and where to get it ?

Or maybe pics of really pink actionwood?


Thanks!

Stay sharp, Kenny.

Kenny, sent you a PM.
The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is nowhere as important as being able to place it in the correct spot.

Sent you a pm, then found this:

Scroll down and look at the strawberry lemon, and passionfruit patterns.

I just  dyed curly maple lams hot pink last week.  Use rit dye rose pink and add some rit dye wine till I got the color I wanted.  Mixed it with denatured alcohol.  The lams were really vivid hot pink.  But they muted down to an orangish pink under the glass.  I liked the color better, but it wasn't hot pink.  If you dye, do a sample with some scap clear glass first, I'm sure you have some laying around.

I'm working with some Pink Ivory given to me by a customer.  I highly recomend it but cannot find any in the length and width needed for limbs or veneers.  Looks beautiful sandwitched between two pieces of Wenge for a riser.

Try poke berries for a natural dye. You can just collect a "mess" of them, crush them in a jar and strain the pulp out and use the fresh juice as a water base dye or dry the berries in the sun (or oven) pulverize the dry berries and disolve in denatured alcohol strain and use. The alcohol dye is more work but will not raise the grain on your wood nearly like water based dye will.
