Thank you so much for this video. Angeles should either include descriptions of their dye colors or post a similar video to their site help customers know what color they are getting when they buy their dyes! This really helped me choose the correct color to redo a leather purse. Very helpful and so well done.
This is a very useful video ! Like you said, if someone wants to color the back of a Les Paul style guitar, knowing what looks how on mahogany is really important, and there aren't many videos for that online, so props for that ! Gibson often (always ?) choose a back color that matches the burst on the front, so this helps making it look more authentic. Nice !
That's a good demo, thanks Derek. Could you shoot some clear on that and do another short vid? The clear will really tell the tale and give these color some life.
Very cool Derek !! I didnt expect them to look how they did when they dried. There is definately some there that could be combined into a cool burst !!
I am a Leather craftsman and use Tandy and Fiebings dyes. Alcohol base, water, and oils. Have you used a sanding sealer before application? and what was the result? I am building a violin. After sealing the violin to get smooth the water-based dyes are not taking. So I did something wrong as far as the order of application. Can you advise?
This is awesome. As are all your vids. Your recommendation of using water based dyes vs alcohol? Would you ever use both together? If this was answered somewhere sorry for missing it - I’m sure you must have discussed it a thousand times. Thanks D!
Really interesting vid, Derek. It's good to see how the different dyes work on the same piece of wood. However (and this might be a stupid question) why does Mahogany wood change colour when you hit it with Mahogany dye?

I use ox blood on my leather and my guitars ,for sure my fave !
I just ordered the oxblood color and it's on the way. Does it require a topcoat to seal it into the leather?
@@chloebelle4923 I always do but it's not required.
Really like the way the Coffee and the Wine Red turned out.
You going through the greatest hits?
@@bigdguitars Yeah getting to learn a Lot ! Wanted to do some Deep research Incase there was a Question You may have aready Answered in a Vid ?
That's a good demo, thanks Derek. Could you shoot some clear on that and do another short vid? The clear will really tell the tale and give these color some life.
Agreed! That would probably make quite a difference to the final colour.
Dane Nichols it will darken it a little.
BigDGuitars - yep, also pop those colors.
I'm digging the Honey stain it's like a light Walnut color. Perfect for my Les Paul project.
Very cool Derek !! I didnt expect them to look how they did when they dried. There is definately some there that could be combined into a cool burst !!
Yea I like the darker looks.
Timely video! I just did some test patches on mahogany, but I only had 4 colors. This is super useful info, thanks!
Glad I could help!!
this is awesome man!! you should start a patreon account, i would totally pitch in a bit to see demos like this happen.
Thank you very much! God Bless you! Hope You happy and success every day, every time :)
They are all winners.. Oxblood may be my favorite. I'd like to see them all on a L.P. or P.R.S. type.🎸🤘
My fav is Coffee, but on this test, I would be interested to see how the chocolate and wine tone mix together in different rations?
Would love to see a piece with full-strength Brandy topped with a thinned coat of the Oxblood. I'd be it's real close to Gibson Heritage Cherry.
I can see the russet used for an old tele where you are going for an old worn out tone. Kind of like old blue jeans

It depends on the wood grain , if it's tight no need to put some grain filler or a sanding sealer

Great vid, and just before I was about to order some more Angelus!
Cc Chicken haha. Use my link!
Looks like I’ll be ordering some dyes... My shop and clients will thank you. My wife and my wallet, not so much... 😂
Haha. Use my link!
Now mask the top half and spray the bottom half so we can see what it looks like finished :)
Yeah - to truly know what these colors are going to look like you've got to put on a finish.
can you dissolve this leather dyes in polyurethane lacquer and spray them on the wood after sealer coat like ", ColorTone stains "?
Big D... how far did you send the sample piece?? just curious. Any issues with the dye not getting down into pores?
sorry.... sand...
Really interesting vid, Derek. It's good to see how the different dyes work on the same piece of wood. However (and this might be a stupid question) why does Mahogany wood change colour when you hit it with Mahogany dye?
Phil Gallagher just the color. I think they are saying mahogany on a white backing.
Jeff Beck fan here. Love the Oxeblood.
Brandy or Bismarck brown
Very useful video!
What grit should I use to sand back the dye I used on a maple fretboard? I like the color but I want to lighten up just a hair
320
You keep saying, it has just a hint of red in it. It has a ton of red! 😂
yes Brandy is a Fine girl.. what a good wife she would be... her eyes could steal a sailor from the sea...
Nice.
oxblood says angus
What colors would you use for a `58 Sweet Cherry, or Lucy -George Harrison's Les Paul? Is it the same as an SG color? Oil or water pore grain filler?
