Oh, and one more thing about the Fiebings alcohol based dyes.....


They are fantastic for stock refinishing. I have done black powder rifle stocks using this product and other wood working project and the alcohol based dye penetrates the wood better than any other stain product I have ever found.

Curly maple is so hard, that it is virtually impossible to get oil base stains to penetrate deep enough for a dark color. The Fiebings colors deep and aged.
By wrapping a regular maple stock with cord and using a butane torch to scorch the stock, I was able to get a curly maple effect with the fiebings stain.
