Also thinking about Easter bones LOL use Easter egg dye with vinegar todo the job. That and the pressure could make it absorb. It would haveto be a post process or else it will cut away the color during milling.

Mike OK

So to add to this subject as for dying the bone a certain have youconsidered apressure pot Curt? That is how the guys get dye and stabilization tohappenin the game call world. Not sure the length of time it would take topermeate

into bone but worth a try.
Just something to think about.

    I don't think I own blue? (the only reason why I own RED, was for
    an repair job I did some 15 yrs ago.) I will go out to the shop
    tomorrow and see what I have.

    Latter this week I can go to Wood Craft and see what dye they sell.

    HI Bill

    Perhaps? but I think the colors will only hold onto were the red
    is. but that's only a guess.

    What color would you suggest TO try?

    How would soaking the bone in dye go for a more even color?

    I agree with you Bill.

    But in this case One bone had a red tint that just stood out to much.

    I figured, why not try?  I sanded the bones down and then stained
    them with red dye.

    The dye only took ahold of the bone in cracks and in the one bone
    disks where the red

    tint was already.

    This one is a learning experience for me.

    What I did today was to try to repair any and all defected
    spindles that I had made over the past few years.

    I was able to salvage 3 bone handles,(Including the red bone.)
    there are still a few that I need to still try to repair sometime
    in the future. But at this time they will just sit and wait, for
    the day that, I either have to need, skill, or reason to spend the
    time to make there repairs.

    I am not hurting for bone at this time.  I just finished up
    another batch of bone disks, (appx 400) and just now made some 8
    new glued up blanks for more fun, to come. ;-)

    Have a good day, everyone.

    And Thank you Bill.

    Hello everyone.

    This bone turning had some red dye in some of the disks that could
    not be removed,(THE dye was from the red food coloring the
    supplier put into the bone) So I opted to stain the bone to match.

    I don't know if I'm happy with this or not? but it dose look
    different. ;-)

    Please let me know what you thing?
