I will be shipping out my first batch of blocks very soon for stabilizing. Also thinking about dying a few. Will probably dye the 3 Maple burl blocks and the 1 buckeye. Leaving the Thuya & Redwood natural.
I've been "Googling" examples and can't find anything specific.

I'm looking to see if anyone had any pics or examples of black dyed Buckeye Burl, and any dyed Maple burl, particularly brown, or red? Any examples would be awesome!
 
I'll just bet you if you contact the people where you are going to send the pieces they will have examples to show.

Yes they do have examples, but they don't explain what color or colors, are used. Since most seem like they are custom dyed with multiple colors.
 
Maple looks good in brown, blue, black, and red.
Buckeye looks good in red and black.
 
Check out fiddleback pics, he has stunning examples of every color scales out there.
 
It is difficult to predict how the wood will look after dying.
This is a photo of maple dyed blue. All were dyed in the same batch and there are a variety of different looks. The only way to figure out how a piece of wood will look dyed, is get it dyed and see what it looks like.

Thats awesome! Crazy how one can be dark blue and black and another is blue and almost yellow. Its these that I thought were multiple colors. I didnt know there could be such a variant. Thanks!

I think I'm going to do the buckeye in black, and the maple brown and red.
