I'm in the middle od staining my IronwoodDesigns stock set using the RIT dye method.
I strained it using alcohol and started with yellow and a little red. That wasnt right, so I went to some straight red.
That made the stock look kind funny, red and orange striped. I had a smoke and stared at it for a while and wondered what to do. I decided to go back to the yellow and did a few more coats of that which made it better, more AK orange but it's still not right. To stripy with distinct red stripes in the orange.
I think it needs some brown(china mart was out of brown) to blend the colors and take away the stripe effect.
What say you guys? What's the ideal AK furniture color?
