Well, I don"t know for sure but I would think he uses something like Transtint dyes.

I emailed Jason on this subject a while ago. Here is what he said:
"I stain the heads myself, with the same style dyes that I use to stain the woods in my banjos. You can buy skin heads, and experiment with stains, and I've also heard that folks use coffee or tea to stain them. I stain the skin heads when dry, and then when they soak the stain falls out of some parts of the skins, leaving the patterns behind."
I really love his banjo design work and he is a great guy to have responded to an out of the blue email. Hope this helps.
