Just wondering if anyone is formulating homemade stains? What combination's of materials are being used and what outcomes have resulted? I've been working with some different teas in both water and alcohol with various results.

Yep, yep, yep, the vinegar and steelwool mix does work great. I just made a butt piece out of ebony except the piece was a lot lighter than the rest of the ebony I've been using. So I decided to try the V/S mix I had sitting in a jar. It did it's magic!
