52"×22" Carved How to dye

[Bawarrior]

Pic making this 9% for a cabinet top, but not sure how to dye such large piece. Don't want to mess it up.

Serge Volken  (sp?) suggests using a large horse hair brush.  Check out his youtube videos, I think he demonstrates how to do this as well.  Seemed pretty effective and produced a nice result.  11:30 mark I think.

I'm testing out an airbrush right now. Have you tried it?

I use a large sponge, the size of your hand or bigger.  Wear gloves, get leather damp, put dye on sponge, then apply in overlapping circles, moving briskly to try to make it even.  With each coat, make it more even.  Be aware it eill lighten a couple of shades while drying overnight.

 

Also, I suggest Fiebings Pro dye over regular or Eco Flow.

You could also get a large tub and a qt of dye and dip dye it. It seems like this may use a lot of dye but since this seems like a rarer kind of item it may be worth it this once.

These were only tools used for tooling. The Bevelerss are the best I've ever had, bought them in a set 130 plus tools.
