Sometimes our imagination challenges us to use the information and experience we've gained to do things differently than we should for the right result. It happens when the artistic spirit urges us to create something unique, and getting it right is not enough. We want the "perfect" of our vision.
Imperfections in the wood are no longer seen as flaws, on the contrary, we have seen how they are highlighted to accentuate the natural look. Moving forward, you might lose a little control over the finish as well. Let's see what happens if we don't want it to come out perfect. Often, creative curiosity pushes us to make exactly those mistakes that the experts insist on (and rightly so) in order to achieve that spectacular result we want. What if we were inspired by the effect, colour migration, for example, recognised as a defect, would be used as a staining technique. We would have control only over the choice of colour palette, quantities and percentages of colour or water, and the technique - a provoked, chaotic and uncontrollable rampage.
The result is a special polychromy and design with random interweavings of colours, shades and new shades that sit uniquely on the wood as if in continuous movement.
This time we've rehabilitated a defect and moved it from the "avoid" to the "try" category. So watch out, if you keep informing yourself you might get good, really good and get all sorts of interesting and original ideas 😉

It would be interesting to present the technology...in this format the article is "minimalist"
The technology is quite simple. Water is poured onto the board on which the effect is to be achieved so that the wood is wet (in excess). It is good to put higher edges on the sides of the boards to prevent the colours from dripping before mixing. Then, from place to place, according to each person's discretion, pour water-soluble staining solutions of different colours. These will blend naturally. The wood must be wet. Otherwise the colours migrate very little. Finally, the edges are folded to remove the excess (if any) and the panels are left to dry. After drying, any transparent finishing system can be applied to protect the effect. In order not to alter the colours at all, we recommend the solvent acrylic system (1-2 coats of primer, sanding, one coat of varnish).
