[QUOTE="Cowbaby, post: 3569327, member: 46875"] OK, Hotshots, here is one you won't see every day. Been waiting 2 weeks to get this Alkanet root. (no you don't smoke it). Its an old world stain making plant that used to be used on high end shotguns and such. I am going to pulverize this in that mortar and let it steep in some oil a week or so and try and fake that old Winchester red stain. Most people would just go to Home Depot and grab some minwax most likely. After reading all kinds of recipes I just decided to use the Kiss principle and Keep It Simple Stupid. Boiled Linseed, this root powder and a splash of turpentine and make a red oil to do the grain filler sanding coats on a stock. Might sprinkle a fleck of baby powder on it if it don't do a good fill but that' s all I'm going to use. I think the guy's over at Purdy are probably safe in their job security but Old SKool baby.[ATTACH=full]203754[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
