Greetings from Nebraska:
I've been experimenting with some segmenting lately so yesterday I needed to cut up some more Chakte Viga from a board I got last year from the Woodcraft store in Omaha. I picked it specifically because it had both sapwood and heartwood in the same board. I was amazed that all of these color variations came from one piece of wood. (First picture is dry/fresh cut, Second picture is squirted with Denatured Alcohol).
Then even more of a surprise was that I had an open container of water (for Micro Meshing) sitting in my shop. After cutting up the board I noticed that the water had turned purple from the sawdust, so I did a little experiment with the sawdust, some water, and some denatured alcohol.
Regards,
Dave
