wood stain (natural methods)

[Polk65]

I have seen a couple of common ways for staining wood, including caustic chemicals and fumes.

Last night I had an experience with gravity that made me think about wine. Can wine be used to stain wood such as poplar and retain the color for a long period of time? Red wine might produce a wood color similar to purple heart.

End caps stained in your favorite wine would be cool. This will require some testing. :)

Hmmm....just keep on using that wine for what it is.... (though from your post I assume you are being good at it..) :)

really cant comment on how long the color would last but i think that you will enjoy the wine more than the cabinets will...or at least i would :)

I'm sure if you cover the wine staining with a clear coat of something, it should last forever.

The depth of color you'd get would be very pale. Wine does not make for a good wood stain.

And that is coming from THE Wood Ninja himself. :D

It may make your music more tender and soften your highs, works great with Japanese veal for sure.
