Many times I considered doing this but didnt, just in case it didnt go so well. Finally went ahead and did it. Would do again for sure. My experience trying something for the first time is that it often doesnt go so well. This was an exception. Here it is under lacquer, prior to being leveled and polished. The mixture was about 6 drops of med brown transitint dyes from stewmac per half ounce of mixed epoxy. I spread it with these pvc card-stock. Did 3 coats. The first two coats were scraped level with a utility blade and scuffed with 220. Coat 3 was leveled with 220, followed by a maroon 3m scotch brite pad. The reason I'm so happy with this is because it made the mahogany much less pale. I have a lot of pale mahogany and Im sure many of you do too. Cheers!

Thanks for posting this. It's good to know that tinting z-poxy works. I also like your fence device for routing the end graft.

Tanks for posting this Nils.
It's always good to see someone trying something new, especially when it has worked well!

Very nice! That mahogany has a great non-stained look to it.
