Turned and colored

I was using pretty simple technique to create these pieces.

Obviously I was selecting highly figured wood something like mango,

box elder burl, tiger maple, maple burl etc.

The first step is creating a form. Pieces were done on a lathe with some hand carving involved.

The second step is sanding. Normally I will go up to 240 grit.

Third step staining. Nowadays after many attempts to colorized different species I realized that

best results I'm getting with leather dyes. Black color always go first. After application of the black

I'm sanding the piece leaving black marks stressing most interesting grain. Then I'm applying

different colors intermittently sanding by hand creating visually pleasing piece.

After this part done I'm finishing with oil, follow by shellac and lacquer.
