recipe for natural black stain?
TimBo:
I highly recommend wearing rubber gloves - walnuts stain skin just as effectively as wood!
Muskyman:
I値l look around the edges of my yard for my wife's dumping spots.. she picks them up almost daily and puts them in a bucket and dumps them in the woods. Won稚 be any trick to find a bunch.. I知 guessing I need to take the nut off them then toss them into a gallon size baggie. Also will one bag be enough?
Hawkdancer:
The walnuts are good eating too! Also attract squirrels! They are also good eating! Might sll at the farmer's market, too!

I collected a grocery bag full this year, all piled up on a sidewalk. Got em hulled and have the nuts drying right now. Gonna see how good they are but I mainly collected em for the hulls for stain.
Muskyman:
We値l I guess I知 to late for the walnut hulls. They all seem to be dried out. I found a few that were still green but not like when they first fall off,kinda dry.. I did put a few into a pound size baggie to see what will happen.. The ones that were black were pretty much dried out. Guess I値l have to wait till next year.. Anyone ever use lamp black for stain? Can稚 recall how we used to make it. Might have been lamp black and linseed oil.
