Alcohol Stain help and question
« on: January 05, 2012, 09:10:00 AM »
A question for you guys here on the bench.  I've been wanting to build a green bow but cant find any green stain.  So where do I get it?  

I already know Kenny is going to get my order for the green action wood block to go with my stained dark green limbs.  This is only because I cant buy 2 pieces of green glass.  

Thanks Shawn

That's the stuff to use-works well. Here is some maple I used it on awhile back.

Mike Yancy has at least one green color available. Color builds up way faster than RIT.
Got wood? - Tom

You can green alcohol die from The knocking point. He's another sponsor. I use it for arrows and it works great.
