Walnut stain?

many moons to walk, 16hr drive in gas horse.
Jbell:
Oh Yeah! Sounds like my possibilities are endless. Thanks my protruding eyebrow friends! Neanderthals rule!
DBernier:
Calendargirl, you are right about the onion stain. I use it to stain some of the powder horns I make and it works fine. I boil the skins first and then boil the horn in the mixture. The mix gets thinner as you boil it and the stain becomes darker. See photo.

I do like Bob, and just rub the hulls on the wood (wait until they turn black, and moisten them a bit.) Works good on bows, arrow shafts, hands, and small children.
DBernier:
Hillbilly, I had a bag of wallnuts and like Hhop they were in a "Little Red waggon". Can you boil the shells and save the dye or just let nature take its course. I gotta tell you that the stain in the waggon was thick and dark. I should have saved it in a glass jar or something. I am going to try the "wait till they turn black and then moisten them and rub them".
