That’s interesting. I’ve always used the alkenet stain after all the pores are filled and let it sit for at least 24 hours. But I am going to try Brian’s method with my next stock. Great tip. I made up a batch of alkenet root stain years ago and I still have a lot left. I boil the alkenet roots in linseed oil and then leave the roots in the jar for storage.

I now use Timberluxe but I don’t seal the stock with it. It’s too expensive and I like off the shelf tung oil for sealing since it works well and is inexpensive. I go through a lot of tung oil filling the stock using the mud method.
