Irodoritai

Irodoritai is a wood dyeing method that infuses timber with vivid color while preserving its natural grain. It uses the wood fiber and lignin already present in each piece of timber to let the dye impregnate the wood, rather than simply coating the surface. Because the dye penetrates deep inside, the color stays visible even when the surface is worn or scratched. The water-soluble dye is safe for humans, which makes the finished wood a secure choice. As with any natural material, dye penetration can vary, and the xylem vessels may not retain the dye, which produces unique patterns that make each piece distinctive.
