[Woodcarver] Water Based Stains

[Roy Brophy]

try water stain then 24 hrs later tung oil. this gives the deep color of a water based stain and the glow of oil, don't "cut" then water based stain with anything but water, some times this causes blemishing. also if your mixing the water based stain use only distilled water.

Thank you Larry, Joe and Steve. I will have to experiment with some of
