Hi,
Lately I'm doing a fair amount of marquetry, for example to create patterns on boxes or other projects. Usually I use the natural colored woods, and most colors I can find in the natural wood. However, frequently I'm wanting a wood with a greenish tint, and I don't know where to get such a wood in a natural color (green poplar browns with age).
Does anyone have a recommended way to obtain a green-colored wood veneer, either naturally or by using some kind of dye? If you dye it, what base would do you recommend and how do you get thorough dye penetration?
Cheers and thanks in advance, Nate Perkins (Ft Collins, CO)
p.s. I did a Google search prior to posting but didn't find info on this particular topic.
