If you want to watch something neat happen.Buy some plum brown browning finish for muzzle loader barrels from track of the wolf.Apply some to some hickory.Hit it with the heat gun and watch hickory darn near turn into the color of osage.It's variable if you want it darker put more on and heat it some more.The heat activates it
