Members katsass Posted August 8, 2011 Members Report Posted August 8, 2011 How does one make homemade walnut stain used for leatherwork? Vikefan What I have done is cook down a LOT of the green hull (over the unripe shell) in water. It smells almost like a fruit being boiled for jam. It takes quite a bit ......5 pounds of hulls or so, but it does make a nice water based stain. I'm thinking of working in some crushed walnut hull to darken the stuff even more. I may just sit some of that out in a jar of water (like making 'sun tea') and see what happens. Mike Quote NOTE TO SELF: Never try to hold a cat and an operating Dust buster at the same time!! At my age I find that I can live without sex..........but not without my glasses. Being old has an advantage.......nobody expects me to do anything in a hurry.
