KNIFE MAKER
I have quite a bit of soft, curly maple that would need stabilizing as it is fairly soft. I have had K&G dye and stabilize some for me, but haven't found a medium brown color that I like. I was wondering if anybody had tried dyeing any stabilized wood after the handle is shaped and finish sanded?
I plan to try using a leather dye then several coats of tru-oil and see how well it holds up, but if someone has a better method they would be willing to share, I'd appreciate it.
Here are a few blocks I have that are stabilized.
