Decided to try something new on a basswood oval I got on clearance. Tree burned by hand. Colors are Minwax water based color series wood stain, no paint was used. I've done gradients with paint on canvas before but never tried it on wood or with wood stain. I think it turned out pretty well for a first attempt. I haven't seen anyone else using wood stain this way (neither had the guys at my local woodcraft store) so I was wondering if anyone else has tried something like this and what the results were.
Thanks! I just did this piece for fun and experimenting. I do however run a very small woodworking shop and while I haven't done something quite like this for open sale (mainly due to the amount of time it takes for this one small piece) It's something I would consider doing in the future or taking commissions for.

Those pride flags look awesome ๐ love the color selections!
Thanks! The colors are all done with wood stain not paint. I did have some help from some of my LGBTQ friends when picking out colors and I had to go through a few different tests with the colors to get the right ones but I found them eventually.
