LOVE THIS. my father and grandfather both made stick & tissue planes like this and I've learned too. Doing a lasercut project at the moment myself with bass wood - what type of dye is used in your coloring process?
this is s a process that I perfected over 8 years of testing.
The ink is dye sublimation ink which when heated turns into coloured gas and permeates the substrate creating embeded colour in the wood grain.

mine were done by a retired race car driver who has now sold his business.
Someone in Columbus should offer this service.
