The wood for this project is green or wet aspen that I received in a club wood exchange (pre-Covid). I turned it green, and put it away to dry. Now I can remount, finish hollowing, and finish the vase.

However, aspen is (to me) a plain wood without a lot of character.

To compensate, I decided to apply alcohol based dye. Since I could not decide which color would be best, I used all that I have - even black (it is on the bottom).

I think it turned out nice. I would apply color this way again.

I also used my DIY steady rest for insurance against unidentified flying objects in my shop.

Enjoy!
