[QUOTE="Mikem, post: 56260, member: 29"] The best stains to use on briar IMHO are the alcohol based stains. I "think" that they use the same stains for dying leather goods. I usually get mine at Pipe Makers Emporium [url=http://www.pipemakers.org/misc_products.htm]http://www.pipemakers.org/misc_products.htm[/url] but have also purchased them from a local wood working store here in Phoenix called Woodworkers Source. I know that Rocklers also sells them. I would tend to stay away from stains used for refinishing cabinets and furniture due to the chemicals in them, but that is just my preference. You can really get some nice colors when using two different stains. I like using an orangish (spelling) looking stain followed by a reddish stain. I will apply a coat of stain, light it with a match, let it burn off to dry a little, blow it out, buff it down with tripoli, repeat, depending on how dark I want the base color. Then basically due the same thing with the second color. When I'm satisfied on what color I like/have I then buff it with carnuba. [/QUOTE]
