Answers: How do a walnut table and a blue painted maple table compare in price when auctioned?

Power carving live-edge wood table bases
Using TransTint blue dye and N3 Nano finish on wood

What it concludes

Starting the power carving transition at each end where the base meets the stem makes it much easier to get a continuous curve.
Using water when mixing wood dye allows more working time compared to alcohol or acetone, avoiding lap lines.
Auctioning both the walnut and the blue maple tables will reveal 100% of proceeds going to Make-A-Wish Foundation.
