Nice, can you post a how you did it? I tried a mustard one a while back and it was'nt too impressive. I'd like to try your method and give it a cold blue on top.

I used potato slices and spaced them out ,and let it set for eight hours. Make sure they are thin. Notice the first three stripes on the left. They were not thin enough. The others were thinner , giving a better pattern.

Very cool. You've given me a project this holiday weekend.

I like it too.
A while back, I bought a knife that had a highly polished mirror finish on the blade that I detested. I stuck the blade (about 3") into a tomatoe overnight and it came out with a great random staining.
