I think this turned out nice. It's definitely not in the traditional fine wood finishing camp, but more of a modern wabi-sabi, rough and handmade look. This started as a quick poplar and spruce experimenter, so the quality of workmanship is below my standards. For fun, I decided to try something I'd been wanting to play around with ... water-soluble "aniline" wood dyes. I'm pretty happy with this, and I think it may be a style I want to explore. It reminds me of the lazure painting style, and I think it would be popular with some people.
The finish over the dyed wood is a few coats of shellac and then a thin coat beeswax, buffed.
The photos don't quite capture the intensity of the colors.
