Obtain tints from light to dark
on any wood without staining.
Baking the wood creates a safe but noticeable odor. As an
alternative to baking the wood in your kitchen oven on a porch or
deck. Used toaster ovens are available on Craigslist.org.
Step1: Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit or 200
degrees Celcius.
Step 2: Place the parts to be tinted on a cookie sheet and place it
in the oven. The dark tone requires one hour in the oven. The light
tone requires 1/2 hour in the oven. For darker tones increase the
oven time. For lighter tones decrease the oven time.
Step 3: Remove tinted parts from oven and let cool until warm to
the touch.
Step 4: Apply Cynthia’s Paste Wax Finish. The home-made formula
