I’m not sure of the brand, but it’s a mix of blue and black wood dye (not stain), and denatured alcohol to thin the color out–I’m using much less than per manufacturer instructions. So, you’d be mixing to taste anyway, but I didn’t find it difficult to get the color I had in mind with some experimentation.

That being said: do note that I wouldn’t recommend that finish on a surface where you prepare food, unfortunately.

Actually, I still have the leftover dye, and if you’re willing to come and pick it up locally it’s all yours.

Would you be able to tell me what kind (company and stain name) of stain(s) you used to achieve that colour? that would be much appreciated.
