New Aquariums using Oak

Cinderella

I was just asked by a friend what they looked like with other wood.
so I went to TC to try & my crafter was told that she didn't have the recipe.
she had already had it but it wouldn't let her.
so I came back to my home shard and decided to make it anyways.

I had heard not to craft using other woods, but decided to check anyways.
And I dyed it with a white natural dye before I looked at it.



then someone asked if I had looked at the oak before I dyed it.
So I made one in Oak.
As you can see, the water part dyes too.

There is still movement of the fish, but wish the water had stayed blue.

Make it with Frostwood.

Yeah, it always feels to me like an unfortunate shortcut has been taken when using anything other than plain wood renders all the detail of the item flat and monochromatic. What's the point of having the different color woods when making something with them often looks so bad? 

Same thing when you're dying an item. Like being able to dye a Vesper Style chair cushion and it looks great. But the Magincia Thrones and Elven chairs look awful because the whole chair turns one tone and all the detail is lost.
