Walnut stain?

<< < (5/5)

I know this is not super prim but for you that make steel points for your arrows the wallnut hulls make a good stain for them too.I use it to clean and stain my steel traps. It works best if the steel has a light coat of rust on it first and gives a dark black finish.

Ooooh I like that.

I know from accident that devil's walking stick berries make a kicking deep purple stain.  AKA Hercule's Club.

 I throw a bunch of black walnuts in a bucket and cover them with water.The water evaporates given a little time and condenses the liquid down to a strong dye,if you wait too long and your nuts go dry,put some more water in there, few days later. Dye   I really like the onion skin dye too.kinda a nice fawn brown. Ugg !  '  Frank
