A few weeks ago it was discovered that the laurel mountain forge stain supply could no longer be available.
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=49916
I did a search for possible gun refinishing supplies that had it in stock. This is the only one that I found. They have it in stock except for maple. I just ordered a bottle since I still have a dash to do. I have no connection with the business.

Re: Laurel mountain Forge Stain
Woo hoo! Thanks Mike. I just ordered a bottle. I really like how it looks on the 1911 that I restored, and now the 1914 T that I am restoring will have a firewall that looks as nice.

Re: Laurel mountain Forge Stain
Well, I tried ordering it from Dixie and they are out of stock on Cherry...
They said that they placed another order, but I've asked when they expect to actually get it back in stock.

Re: Laurel mountain Forge Stain
An article in a late 1950s HCCA journal gave this recipe for staining dashboards:
“Mix artists’ tube oil paint Alizarin Crimson into a 50/50 mixture of spar varnish and turpentine.”
The result is very acceptable and indistinguishable from the Laurel Mt. stain. Be sure to avoid water miscible paint, and “student grade” color.
