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.
