Koa stain

Post by watergunn »

Hi all.

I bent some Koa binding and it has lost some of it's color.

Is there a stain out there that would bring back some of the coloring?

Thanks

Rick Gunn

yes you can use a number of stains. Avoid the dark walnuts. Look for something more mid color so you don't over color the wood.
