Black Ink Posted February 10, 2008 Author Share Posted February 10, 2008 Steve, the wood is heart pine I salvaged from my houseand I got the color from mix oil painting paint with a dash of mineral spirits, then brush on wipe off and it stains the lighter part.I dont think the darker grain in this wood will take stain. The metal is a pry bar I bougt at a swap for 2$. Tomorrow I'm gonna do a hardness test on it at work I'll let you know how it turns out.
