I have tried some different things in the 4 months i have been wood turning, from bowls, confetti lights and pens. now i have started to have a go at turning fruit. as i do not have the finances to buy much exotic wood to get the different colours required for all the different fruits i have to do with what i can get for free.
i have stained some of the fruit (bananas, lemon) to make it look more realistic using chestnut wood dye, (only the plum is exotic wood, purple heart)
can anyone suggest to me what other ways to colour the wood? just enough so as to still let the natural wood grain show through.
