If a pressure pot doesn't work (or work well enough) - give thought to trying a vacuum chamber. If it's able to suck the air out of the voids in the bone - the dye solution may replace it. Might be worth the try. Mac -----Original Message----- From: <legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com> Sent: Jul 8, 2024 11:35 AM To: <legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com> Subject: Re: Red bone
Also thinking about Easter bones LOL use Easter egg dye with vinegar to do the job. That and the pressure could make it absorb. It would have to be a post process or else it will cut away the color during milling.

Sorry we were camping these last 4 days and having family time so I stayed pretty quiet. lol. So to add to this subject as for dying the bone a certain have you considered a pressure pot Curt? That is how the guys get dye and stabilization to happen in the game call world. Not sure the length of time it would take to permeate into bone but worth a try. Just something to think about.

But in this case One bone had a red tint that just stood out to much. I figured, why not try? I sanded the bones down and then stained them with red dye. The dye only took ahold of the bone in cracks and in the one bone disks where the red tint was already. This one is a learning experience for me. What I did today was to try to repair any and all defected spindles that I had made over the past few years. I was able to salvage 3 bone handles,(Including the red bone.) there are still a few that I need to still try to repair sometime in the future. But at this time they will just sit and wait, for the day that, I either have to need, skill, or reason to spend the time to make there repairs. I am not hurting for bone at this time. I just finished up another batch of bone disks, (appx 400) and just now made some 8 new glued up blanks for more fun, to come. ;-) Have a good day, everyone. And Thank you Bill. C.A.G.

This bone turning had some red dye in some of the disks that could not be removed,(THE dye was from the red food coloring the supplier put into the bone) So I opted to stain the bone to match. I don't know if I'm happy with this or not? but it dose look different. ;-) Please let me know what you thing?
