I have some action wood I need to stain pink for a girl's bow. What's the best product for this?

I have used Rit Dye dissolved in denatured alcohol to dye a variety of woods. Never dyed action wood but suspect it would work just fine, just add coats until you get the color you want. Try it on a piece of scrap wood first to see if it is what you want.

I have done just as Eric suggests...Good results with the colors I have used. Sorry to say pink was not one of them. Good luck.
Just be careful with denatured alcohol...Use eye and splash (rubber gloves) protection and use in a ventilated area... no sense in having a hobby mess with your health.
here's some elm I did...
Happy hunting,
Jason
P.s. Looks good under glass...
