Think about it. The lower the density/SG of the wood, the more spaces
versus places, since all wood's pretty much the same sugars. Means
aspen and such are going to give you the best penetration versus time.


And add in the structure of the wood, porosity of the cellular walls,
etc. Best to try a sample of your board and find out.


You can create a sort of mini vacuum by warming the wood and placing it
into the dye. Lower pressure of the heated and expanded air will draw
as it cools.


Nice idea.

Thanks
