With a little practice, the keda dye's produce amazing results. I could show you some amazing pictures of stuff I've built and I'm no carpenter. Really cool stuff.

Tip on keda dyes, alcohol dries faster. Water sands back easier but takes longer to dry. I prefer to layer colors over one another in order to achieve a mixed color. Instead of making purple in a cup, I'll just dye blue, then red. However, you could mix up equal parts into one cup. I just found that layering colors separately worked better for me. And more coats will give you a deeper color. To anyone who read this far.. hope this helps!

I mix it with water, and use a hair dryer on it immediately after applying it. That way I can go darker progressively and quickly.

The irony is that purple was the first color I did when I got the keda dyes.. and it came out great 😂 well technically I did equal parts red and blue, mixed separately at first. Also both with a 70% alcohol as a base. About 1/4 tsp to 2oz alcohol. However, I put down a few coats of blue on a piece of pine, and then put down red over that. It gave the most incredible almost iridescent purple color! In some light it was blue, purple in others. Just amazing! With a gloss finish it almost looked like a damn metallic car

Good video. The problem with light burn is the soft part of the wood (between the darker grain) burns first (It's called the "springwood") And the light parts left over is the harder grain - which does not take to staining/dying that well, it's hard and the colour does not soak in well. That's why the light burn looks kinda washed out, the dye could not really take hold well. As you found, you get much more dramatic results when doing a deep burn and brushing super hard to expose some good contrast, much more consistent colour as well.

So, I would love to see a sanded board to open the grain, then the dye process, then the burn process. If I understand the shou sugi ban concept correctly, it is for sealing the grain of the wood to preserve it. IE, it probably would inhibit some of the dye absorption.

Sanded wood... rub the wood with just water first and let soak it just a bit to raise the grain, then proceed to stain. Finish with clear coat and wet sand. You're also getting green because the natural yellows in the wood are mixing with the blues.

Great video. I use this style on custom cases for my company Belt-Box. I've used Keda dye before but with working with this style I found a much better and quicker solution. After you burn, sand the wood with 320 grit to clean off the carbon and after that just clean it off with warm water(this will pop the grain a bit and rub the carbon to made a cool fade). Now use Folkart ultra dye on your project(this stuff is awesome, its half the price of keda and requires no mixing, you just apply it). You'll be shocked with your results especially after a nice clear coat. 🤙

I use Keda powdered dyes all the time. I use a scale to measure the powder 1/4 gram to 6-8 oz. I mix the dye first in a couple tablespoons of warm water then after mixing it well add it to alcohol. Applying sand to 150-180 anymore than that closes the pores and won't allow the dye to penetrate. Apply liberally wait 5 minutes and wipe off excess. If needed apply it again. Mixing colors just go by standard colormixing charts and measure accurately.

I've done multiple stains on wire brushed entry doors for new homes and antique furniture. I agree with your conclusion about deeper burning and aggressive wire brushing (nylon). If working on doors, each board needs to be stained individually. Mixing stain with turpentine the set overnight would allow for deeper penitration and still dry. I understand why you opted not to use lacquer.

Never used dye that way on burned and brushed wood. Nice twist. First time I used dye was about forty years ago and trying to get the super dark finish needed to make a pine coffee table I made match my [then] postman's end tables. The darkest walnut stain wouldn't pull it off, but the dye, followed with stain did. Oh, and small brass brushes make pretty quick work of cleaning burned wood. A REMINDER: Dye does not hold up against UV light as well as stain.

I have used these dyes, i found for best results a good sanding with 120 grit then dye with black. Let that sit then sand with 220 grit till you get the light colors then dye with the color you want to use and let it sit for a good while about 20 min. but keep it wet then remove excess dye. I found that works best for me. I’ve done both water and alcohol. I agree water turned out the best unless you want a light color.

Good stuff, thanks for the lessons and the great music! Purple, problematic on a good day. Two observations; second mix of purple I would've bumped up the blue not the red. Second relative to all cool colors; natural undertone of wood is generally a yellow/green no matter how faint or clear the wood is including the "white" woods due probably to chlorophyll. *Maybe* a faint white wash first, then your cool color of choice.

I swear I was thinking you were TRASHING those boards by burning so much Ohh How WRONG I was !!! The red and the yellow were fabulous ! Think a deck done like that would be awesome - - Start with red and transition to orange and then to yellow I'm gonna be burning some wood next weekend THANKS my friend !!

Sure thing. Thanks, Kenny! Cheers

i had extra stains lying around and needed a bathroom door so I experimenting with a dark color and a red-ish one. first I added the dark, let dry, then sanded with a fine-ish piece of sandpaper this highlighted where it soaked in and lightened the other areas. then I used the red-ish stain like normal over it, came out great. takes a little experimenting and depends on the wood, then put on a coat of poly. I ended up with some nice looking stuff. dye's well, never heard of em, and its not something I'm really going to find at lowes. but that darker burn towards the end with the red that really pops, nice.

Thank you! And who can forget Sven? 🤣 Cheers! 👍🥃👍🥃

Do u think this would be good for planters etc? Do you think the dye would run out of the wood with rain? Or would you need the lacquer?

You would definitely need to seal them with something. Cheers

i used to use just the cheap dollar paints from walmart and dilute them with water and use it as stain, always worked great and easy to get the color you want as you just spend a dollar buying exactly the color you want

Do you know if by burning the wood it makes it less durable for example when using it to make a chair?

Hey JP. It does not make it less durable. Cheers

4:31 “So, I’m going to take the black” I hear this and wonder if anyone else will think of GoT when he said it. Then a minute later I recognize the Targaryen sigil hanging on his wall haha

Question. Wanting to veneer an old drum set, was my first big purchase in life when I was 14. Is it possible to apply this method to a cedar veneer and apply to the old shell of the drum? Obviously you couldn’t do a deep burn to get the textures since it’s veneer. Id love to shou sugi ban and then clear coat to create something that I’ve never seen on another drum set. The actual drum shells are old cheap maple that I’m sure would just turn black if exposed to flame.

I think it would depend on the veneer. Definitely try it on a test piece first. My 2 concerns would be it warping the veneer and if it's veneer with a glue backing the heat ruining the glue.
