In Response To: coloring chair cane (R.McMinn)

HH Perkins recommends ZAR stains for cane....it's a pigmented wiping stain. Dyes can tend to soak into the softer under side of the reed and cause an odd look to the business side...a gel stain applied with a dry brush technique can also provide good results...experiment on some scrap...and stay away from a film coating like lacquers...
