After letting it dry overnight, I mixed up an 8oz solution of black dye to try my hand at a burst. Simple red to black.
I started with applying the black to the edges and then rounding the edge to the back and top.
Then mixing some red and black dye, rubbing in the edge of the black.
Then taking some red and rubbing in the edge of the rubbed in edge.
Rinse and repeat for a couple days until it looks right or my eyes are crossed.
I think I am happy with it when its wet:
It's fairly wet in these pics but already staring to dry. Alcohol does not give you much time before its gone.
There's still a bit of streaking in the black on the edges.
I plan to hit the entire body with red one last time tomorrow to smooth out all the streaks.
Then let the body dry for a few days before getting the first coat of Tru-Oil applied to lock this color in!
