GlisGlis:
just as reference this handle is a kind of oak (tannin rich) stained with iron acetate and then sanded
You can see bot natural and dyed color

Buckskinner,
A couple dozen should do nicely, if you want to spare that many!  I will pm my address.

Eric Thanks for the alcohol idea, I hadn't thought about mold setting in.  That does make a nice stain!

Eric Krewson:
Osage stained with aqfortis, one coat, more coats would be darker.

Muskyman:
I might have to make some of the walnut stain. I like the color and my wife has probably picked up 15 buckets of them out of our yard so far this year.. do they have to be green to start with or can they already be starting to decaying and turn black?

GlisGlis:
you can use the one already  black
