TXScrollsawartist Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 Welch Dragon Puzzle. Cut from 3/4 inch white pine and colorized with Trans-tint wood dye. The pattern is from one of Judy Peterson's books. Her designs are very fun to cut and teach blade control as well as which cut to make next. (And they make great Christmas presents...)

wombatie Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 Very nice. I do like the way the color worked, I can never get wood dye even. Marg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TXScrollsawartist Posted October 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 (edited) Marg - I always warm the wood dye by setting it in the sun (I live in Houston, we have lots of sunshine) for an hour before I use it. Warm dye penetrates much better then cold dye. I dunk the entire puzzle in a pan of warmed dye and then wipe each piece with a cloth reserved for that color. I also learned the hard way to let newly dyed white pine to dry in the shade in the summer. The hot Texas sun will dry the wood so fast that it splits. I lost a batch of over 50 puzzles that way once. Edited October 31, 2013 by TXScrollsawartist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
