say!!! thats nice sharkie.......i think your ready for some needles  in flame maple or quilted and dyed

thanks but whats in flame maple or quilted and dyed

well go on saltys site and look at the figured stuff  it has natural lines in the wood that looks like a zebra......its call figured, flame, or quilted......when dyed the the wood in those areas are darker  so it will have a stripe effect
Behlen solar-lux  dyes comes in all sorts of colors.......but you need to get the powder and mix it with alchohol  solar lux is UV resistant...........i havent tryed it yet but  ive been toying with the idea.....salty has the blanks  figured square stock.....lathe out some needles dye em green paint  the bellys white  or what ever floats you blabbermouth popper
