I worked a few hours on the dye today, it's supposed to be some kind of a purple burst. I had a hard time blend the purple with the pink dye plus the middle piece in the body is lighter in color than the other pieces.
Don't know if I can do better than this, also I'm aware to the fact that the tru oil is going to give it a yellow tint, which in some tests that I made earlier wasn't too noticeable, hope it won't turn out too saturated after I'll apply the tru oil.
if you don’t want it after I have a seven year old daughter who will happily make me buy it from you! I think that burst is great, maybe a Couple more dye swipes around the edges?Originally Posted by Eitan Yerushalmi

Cool so it passed the test!I tried to add more dye around the edges, but for some reason it's really hard for me to blend that shade into the others, I think the blue pigment is making it difficult.
I had the same problem with another kit I'm working on that I tried to do in green burst. The emerald that I mixed showed the same attributes, the more blue pigment I'm adding to the mix the more grainy it becomes.
So I sanded the edges pretty heavy to feather it, which resulted in lighter, almost unnoticeable shade.
