Easy Wood Stain And Carbon Steel Patina.

Posted by Vern Hallett on September 11, 2018 at 3:47pm

Used red food color and tung oil to finish the hard wood handle. Two coats of food color. Let dry smooth with fine steel wool. Two coats of tung oil. Let dry.I used hot apple cider vinegar to put a nice patina on the carbon steel blade.If it works for an Opinel it should work for a CBG.
