re: SW style tray

Thanks guys!

Nathan, yeah, sometimes I wish it would keep a solid color after sanding but often there are grains that don't absorb the dye even after a few cycles of vacuum followed by cycles in a pressure pot.

The curly maple does get the enhanced 3D effect for the same reasons and other curly wood (like sycamore) has very tight spacing that is perfect for doing leaves that look more real.

Anyway, the effect is like glass with the variations, I guess if I wanted "solid" I should just use plastic!
