Default Question about coloring wood

"NoOne N Particular" wrote in

I did check out the dyes at Rockler and Woodcraft websites, and at $10
per ounce and up (WAY up), it was a little pricey just to buy one just
for an experiment. But thanks for the input.

If what you need is something for an experiment, then you need to find a
buddy who has some on his shelf. For your experiment, you're going to need
only a couple of drops. Certainly no more than 1/4 of the bottle.

I, for example, have maybe 6 bottles of the stuff on my shelf, and found
that many of the dye experiments I tried taught me not to use it that way,
or on that kind of wood, or any numbers of 'interesting options'.

Dye stains, in my shop, are now 'toners' for shellac, for the most part.

YMMV.
