I just purchased 'The Elements of Woodcarving' by Chris Pye.
And in there he says that he used'COFFEE' to darken the background on a relief carving.
I was wondering if anyone else has ever tried this and if they were happy with the results?
Also this got me to wondering what else( besides store bought stains and paints) could be used (or rather ) have been used to achieve an unusual coloring for a project. Things like kool-aid or berry juice.
I would also like to know how pleased you were from the results of using these items.
