Natural Dyes for Coloring Wood and Varnishes in Violin Making

Our natural dyes are made from purely plant-based or animal-derived materials and naturally color wood and varnishes. They preserve the natural wood grain and create a warm, vibrant color effect. The dyes can be easily incorporated into varnishes and color the wood, making them suitable for both subtle accents and an even coloring. Eco-friendly and non-toxic, they are especially suitable for violin makers and restorers who value traditional craftsmanship and sustainable materials. This way, you give your instruments an authentic and natural appearance.
