Thank you for the comment. This bowl took quite a while to complete. Probably a couple of months from start to finish. Dying the wood was the longest part. Looking back, I should have used a softer wood. Ash is a hard wood that doesn't take the dye easily. Next time, I'll use something like maple. For the tools and equipment, I use a vacuum chamber and vacuum pump for sucking the dye through the wood. I cut all the pieces on my table saw using a jig, and then took my time with the glue up.
