tea staining wood? i've heard of fabric, but not wood! does it permanently stain?



subinmaine2 -> RE: Arrrrrrrrrrrrggggggghhhhhhhhhh! (8/30/2007 7:09:59 AM)

As long as it's a light colored, soft wood, yes, it'll stain permanently...and it comes out GORGEOUS [:)]

I've done the same to hardwood beads. Just made the coffee super strong and let them soak longer to get that beautiful color.



KMsAngel -> RE: Arrrrrrrrrrrrggggggghhhhhhhhhh! (8/30/2007 7:25:34 AM)

wow. i'll keep that in mind. what happens if u have to sand it at a later point? how far does it penetrate? tho i suppose u could just stain again....

Best bet is to stain after much of the sanding is done. It should stain fairly deep and depends on the length of time you let it stay. After you could probably use a sealer over top to hold the color in the wood grain.

tea staining wood... depth of penetration depends on the wood. But it has a wonderful slightly iridescent quality to it. Looks especially good with a rubbed oil finish.

Then again, I think almost any wood looks best with a rubbed oil finish...



subinmaine2 -> RE: Arrrrrrrrrrrrggggggghhhhhhhhhh! (8/30/2007 7:34:56 AM)

That's exactly what i do too Bear...i let it soak as long as possible so the color REALLY penetrates the wood, all the sanding is done first and then i poly it up...brings the color and grain out incredibly.

Have a freind who wants me to make a necklace with a set of bear claws. I'm thinking of using maple wood beads between each claw and staining the beads in coffee.

sometimes I feel I am the only person in the world who doesn't really drink coffee...



Nope...I dont drink coffee either......Sometimes, if my dad is here and has already made a pot, Ill have some, but usually I make tea.....hot tea...not in a microwave either....gotta heat the water on the stove first....then pour some into the kettle to heat it up, then dump out that water and put the tea in, then pour the water over the tea and let it steep...and I add honey, or lemon, or sometimes milk..depending on what type of tea....

Everytime I go away and leave you, darling,

But they never hurt you in my eyes.

Went to sleep last night, worked as hard as I can,
Bring home my money, you take my money, give it to another man;

I wouldnt be here with all my troubles
Down on this killing floor.
Squeeze me baby, till the juice runs down my leg, x2

Bossy,

My ex didn't drink coffee, only tea...



SimplyMichael -> RE: Arrrrrrrrrrrrggggggghhhhhhhhhh! (8/30/2007 7:54:02 AM)

Wood Stain = is a pigment in some sort of carrier, often an oil or solvent.  Paint with really fine pigment.  Generally a crime to  use on good wood.

Tea = is a very mild dye carried in water which will raise the grain if the item was sanded rather than planed and scraped.  Dye changed the color of wood but still destroys/masks some of the varied colors.  I use analine dyes which are carried in alcohol as it raises the grain less.

A few speak of irridescence.  That is a something some woods have but others don't.  Mohoganny has deep irridenscence, oak has none. 

As for finishes, nothing brings out the beauty of wood like a French polished shellac finish but laquer is a good substitute.  Oil is good for some things but offers very little protection to the wood.  Most oil finishes are actually varnish with a lot of thinner and only  a tiny bit of oil.  Linseed oil offers very little moisture protection but will dry to a glossier finish, Tung oil (China oil) offers more moisture protection but less gloss.  Danish oil is this way, it is a bit of varnish and a tiny bit of oil in a bath of solvent which is why it dries so fast.

Michael, dont you know its rude to discuss your ex with your current?.....bah.....men


thhhbbtttttt[:D]



e01n -> RE: Arrrrrrrrrrrrggggggghhhhhhhhhh! (8/30/2007 7:57:56 AM)

eh, I guess - I've only used tea to stain poplar so far. Pretty soft for a hardwood. And I normally don't get into woodworking that much these days.



subinmaine2 -> RE: Arrrrrrrrrrrrggggggghhhhhhhhhh! (8/30/2007 8:01:54 AM)

i do wood burnings...very soft woods...VERY dry pine and/or Bass wood...the color of the burns work wonderfully with the tea staining [:)]

Edited to add an example...unstained of course lol: http://www.collarme.com/Attachments/4060001546999C337810763p1.jpg
