Wood Stain (all-purpose oil-based)

1 part boiled linseed oil
2 ounces Japan drier
2 parts turpentine
Up to 1/2 pound dry artist's pigment

Wearing rubber gloves, mix linseed oil, Japan drier, and turpentine in a sealable container, then stir in artist's pigment to get the desired color. The pigment does not dissolve. It is suspended in the linseed oil and turpentine. When not using the stain, keep the container sealed to prevent evaporation.
