Mix-it-Yourself Magic for Coloring Wood

With just a few basic aniline dyes on hand, you can create practically every color under the sun. No, they’re not just another stain. Aniline dyes mix like Kool-Aid, give you clear, deep color that lets the grain show through, and can put savings in your pocket compared to the popular premixed pigmented stains.
