Black Wood Stain?

[Jim Farrow]

Is there such a thing as "Black" wood stain?

I want to make some frames and want them black in colour.

But I know if I paint them I will probably make an outhouse of them
so was wondering if I could stain them black.

Thanks,

James

I used a black stain from General Finishes that came out nicely.

I think it was a waterbased stain, though.

Thanks!

Can you provide a link to somewhere on line that sells this?

You can use black dye.

Or try searching for 'ebonizing wood' here or in Google.

Thanks!

I used Google and the first link that came up was General Finishes.

Great Stuff!

Thanks again,

India ink is an excellent "ebonization" solution.
