I have used this also. I really never know the what the exact results will be. I used it mostly on rough finishes in the barn. Thanks for another interesting video.
I've used that mixture to dye leather black. It sometimes turns out a lighter gray or a brownish color, depending on the leather, some leather won't turn black at all. Probably because of no tannin or less tannin. I've found that if I wipe on some vegetable oil that the leather turns blacker quicker and even a darker richer color. Some videos recommend using various types of tea leafs that have tannin in them. I just use vegetable oil, it's worked pretty good so far. I used apple cider vinager in case the vinager had some tannin from the apples. It worked pretty good. I never did a side by side comparison on the different vinagers. I used very rusty bailing wire to make my solution. And a few rusty nails and bolts. The mixture was ready to go as soon as the rust dissolved. That took about 6 hours, but I'm not positive on exactly how long it took. That was some time ago. I sure hope there wasn't any lead and zinc coated nails in it. Because I would never know if the mixture was toxic. That walnut you used sure has some extra tannin in it. I might have to get some and boil some walnut sawdust to have some good tannin rich water to wipe on hard to tan woods. Pretty good video sir, thanks.
Thanks to you too sir. GREAT video. In case you would like to brush up a little bit more on it. In the leather working videos they call this type of stain vinegaroon.
The longer you let it sit after mixing it, the darker and redder will be the resulting stain. I've found it will start to give pine a light gray bleached look by letting the mix sit just 18 hours. And if I want it darker, I just let sit a few more hours, and give it another coat. I only strain what I need for each coat, leaving the steel wool in the mason jar to continue reacting with the vinegar for the next coat.
The vinegar dissolves the coating on the steel wool, allowing it to oxidize/rust. White vinegar is 95% water. The iron oxides color the wood. And I really wish the
I think the results had little to do with the steel wool and more to do with the vinegar. I have put steel wool in water to get rusty and then in vinegar. The vinegar removes the rust from the steel. I also like making stain from walnut huls

Yeah, I’m always surprised at what happens. Thanks for commenting.

@@willardchi2571 thanks for your insight Willard!
Thanks great idea,sure beats prices of bought stains,and thanks I’m learning lot from you.
Thanks Terence!!
Very interesting!
Do you know if a second coat makes any difference to the pine? Would it darken it even further?
It reaches a limit where it won’t go darker no matter how many coats.
