Chestnut products need no introduction to most woodworkers. They produce a range of waxes, oils and stains that cater for most needs. One product I have been particularly impressed with is the Chestnut spirit stain. These stains fall into 2 categories. You have the typical wood stains such as golden oak, red oak, dark oak etc, etc. Then you have what is known as rainbow colours. The wood range contains 12 colours and the rainbow range contains 9 colours.
The spirit stain is an innovative product and the trial pack comes in handy 25ml bottles. If you are looking for a particular colour, this will fit the bill. Alternatively, these stains can also be intermixed so there is real potential to create some stunning effects. The stain can be mixed with sanding sealer or lacquer to create tinted finishes. You are only limited by your imagination.
The spirit stain also comes in larger 250ml, 500ml and 1 litre bottles if you have a preference for a particular colour. The stain is quick drying and fade resistant. It also has non-grain raising properties and can be applied with brush or cloth. Coloured stain really brings out the natural grain of the wood and creates an amazing finish. The trial packs of wood and rainbow colours can be purchased for around £14. This represents excellent value for money and virtually eliminates wastage.
Whether your preference is for turning or carving, this product is an absolute must for any wood worker.
