In Response To: Material: Nick's Red Dye? (Damian Wentzel)

: I bought an old Great Auk off craiglist a year or so ago (a steal
: at $300) that i used while i built my Night Heron. Now that the
: Night Heron is complete i've stripped the Auk down to the wood
: and cut/rebuilt the coaming. I'd like to add a little warmth to
: the otherwise plain pine/cedar deck (there might be an accent
: strip but its 10 years old and faded entirely). I saw in Nick
: use a dye when refinishing his Petrel and was curious if anyone
: (or you Nick :) knew what is used as a dye to get the deep red
: hue? I've never used dye on wood so any advice/beware of's would
: be great too!

: PS: I'll be at okoumefest this weekend (yellow vest with the Night
: Heron). Stop by and say hi!

: Thanks,
