Thanks 99, its good to be working on the truck again.

My original intent was to buy some purple heart wood for the bed wood, but in an attempt to defray a little cost, I've been doing some research on dying some oak. Here are a couple of test pieces that I did. This is using RIT dye. Has any one else here tried this?

I tried the first piece with a purple dye, but it came out looking more brown than purple. The next piece I stained first with a couple of coats of Fushia dye. I went over half of that test piece with the purple dye. That's closer to the color that I want.
