Merry Christmas everybody...!:biggrin:
There are no kids in the house to make us/me get out of bed early in the morning, Merissa has long retired to sleep, as normal but poor me, I'm still waiting for my sleeping tablet taken at dinner time (7:30pm), to start to work, normally around this time of the night but, not tonight, I'm as alert as an electric bug, tired but certainly not sleepy so, I keep seated here, typing away.
This time I decided to use some samples that I finish this evening, while I was working on the Olive wood blanks, just posted on another thread. I kept stopping the olive cutting and get all the steps done (wood dry oven, vacuum, draining, foil wrapping, back to oven, unwrap, sand excess juice to get them ready for the turning, after I was done with the Olive wood.
It worked OK, and I stabilized/dyed 10 blanks, 5 soaked in read and the other 5 soaked in blue/purple, I then put a blue one in the red juice and the red blank in the blue juice and both back in the vacuum chamber. This was done without the firs colour be cured in the oven, I let them drain for a few hours, before I put one of each on the other colour, they were all oven cured after that...!
I just had enough daylight to take a few pics, the blue shows pretty true but the read didn't, lack of natural light made it look more like dark pink but, I used the read alumilite dye...!
This was another test that I decided to do, after the positive results I got from my tests with the #25 Knotty Pine. I have lots of this wood and I remembered of its burl type eyes, in some specific parts of some logs, not all have them so, the waste of wood is horrendous however, when I say waste, is more the time and size the unused pieces endup with, as it becomes firewood that we use every winter, a whole 5 cubic meters of it so, is not really wast but rather, small firewood pieces.
So, the question is;
*- What wood species of mine, was used in these samples...?
Look carefully at the second blue sample and what it shows on it...!
Winner gets 500gr of free blanks (about 8), only pays shipping at AU$14.00 paid via Paypal to, nyodine@yahoo.com.au
Give as many guesses as you wish however, only one guess per post is allowed...!:wink::biggrin:
Good luck...!
Cheers
