Hi Chris. I have never heard of "verdegree". Could be the same process
but I can't confirm that.

Thanks......Ralph

Some years ago I saw a post in another forum about the effect you can
get by lime waxing(?) bowls. Searches have been unsuccessful, mainly
because I probably was using the wrong search string. I just don't
recall what the process is called. It gives the wood a green tint
bringing out the grain in the wood. In this case it was Ash and it
looked fantastic. Sorry I can't explain myself better. Hope this makes
sense to someone.

Thanks...........Ralph

In "Decorative Techniques for Woodturners", Hilary Bowen shows doing such
a thing. She applied a water based dye to a candlestick - a somewhat
greenish/blue color - then used liming wax to enhance the grain. It was
white and filled the pores and was quite striking against the died wood.
In this case the wood was oak.

Jan Sanders shows a similar piece in her book Colouring Techniques for
Woodturners. In both cases the wood was died, and the liming wax applied
afterwards.

One could, of course, use a colored wax against a non-stained wood. as
well...

Are we talking about creating a "verdegree" effect?
