Walnut Stain for sale.
Hi All.
I've been playing with making Walnut stain from the husks from my walnut trees. It came out so nice that I ended up making a few gallons and selling it online.
In comparison to commercially available stains.
CONS:
Less concentrated. Darker shades require multiple applications. Grain has to be raised. 24hour dry before finish application.
PROS:
Very even coverage, less prone to blotching. Does not stink. If higher absorption required it can be thinned with alcohol. Can be mixed with other ware-based or alcohol-based stains.
$35 a qt including USPS ground.
PP directly to YT [email protected] $30 including shipping.
If you hate it, I will issue a refund.
Thanks.

Very cool Roman. I will give this a try on my next walnut veneered project.
Thanks!
I know where you can get a LOT of walnuts if you want them....

I have about 30 Black Walnut trees. Previous owners didn't take care of them so there's a lot of work.
Cool trees. The walnut husks are also a bit toxic, a defensive mechanism to keep other trees from growing close.
They keep a lot of plants from growing.
Not just husks. Roots too. I had to move some of my apple trees. Unless the plant is listed as been Ok near walnut tree, it's 50ft rule.
The squirrels love them here . . . I have one young Walnut tree growing on the edge of a stream in my yard dropping its fruit for the past couple of years and thought about making stain from the husks as well.
I tried dissolving steel wool in vinegar a couple of years ago as a stain but that turned into a disaster when applied to the wood - it stinks and neutralizing the vinegar acid was hopeless - never again . . .
We used to throw the green ones at the pigs. Stained our hands green and stuck.
My brothers and I threw them at each other.
Have any before/after pics, Roman?
I should do some samples.
This elm burl was a bit on a pale side and I gave the browns a bit of a facelift. Stain was thinned out with denatured alcohol so the contrast remained and it was only an adjustment to the over all saturation.
Yes, samples would be beneficial for your product.
I don't know what that is, but it's friggin pretty.
Looks like a mirror.
