Yup the whole dye and adding color thing is new to me, im learning as I go here. Im still all about natural wood and don't want to cover it up but maybe just enhance it with some color sometimes for more visual interest. Dyes on lighter woods and maybe some resins on darker woods. So this is my first go with dyes.A tad dark yellow, but I think in the end it will be super nice!

One thing I learned is to remember that when finish is applied over the dye after sanding it back it will darken up again. So its a fine line with the sanding, not enough and the color may be too much, to much sanding and the color my dissappear or be blotchy. I think maybe I should have diluted the dye with water instead of using it full strength. But this is my first so I'm learning.I am also experimenting with coloring wood. I have found myself having to go back down past the color and start over...3 times on 1 piece. Yours is looking good. Can't wait to see the finished product.

Thanks brother, just experimenting still and playing with some color. Trying to enhance the wood without covering it up to much so the grain still shows through.From the pictures, the red is a good match.
I did a Google search and then purchased it from a place in texas.Red rim fits very well! Where did you buy your stain? Chuck
