Title: Alcohol Stain help and question
Post by: Dmaxshawn on January 05, 2012, 09:10:00 AM
A question for you guys here on the bench.  I've been wanting to build a green bow but cant find any green stain.  So where do I get it?  

I already know Kenny is going to get my order for the green action wood block to go with my stained dark green limbs.  This is only because I cant buy 2 pieces of green glass.  

Thanks Shawn

That's the stuff to use-works well. Here is some maple I used it on awhile back.

Mike Yancy has at least one green color available. Color builds up way faster than RIT.

You can green alcohol die from The knocking point. He's another sponsor. I use it for arrows and it works great.
