[QUOTE="Cowbaby, post: 3569537, member: 46875"] Got my alkanet roots in today to make a fake Winchester red stain. I was thinking I was going to have to soak the roots in oil for a week or two but mine is ready in one day. Must have been the turpentine drew the color out or I added to much roots. It is going to be just short of perfect for me. These are some shots of the first light basecoat and POW it really makes the highlights of the wood pop. Does a superb job on contrasting the grain. The pictures show it to be brown if I place it at an angle and more reddish from the other direction. I'm not a very good photo man to give this stuff justice. I can't be more happy with the results so far. I'll see you in 30 light hand rubbed coats. It only took a finger or two full so I probably have enough for 3 lifetimes.
