Here is a super-dooper organic quick tip for you:
#2 Did you know you can stain your wooden furniture with coffee?! Yup, make a pot of (ground) coffee, leave it to brew overnight and then apply it with a brush to your sanded timber item. Stronger coffee equals a darker stain and weaker coffee a lighter tone.

Thanks for the tip Rose. Definitely going to remember this one!
That coffee looks so strong and lethal – rather use it on the wood than pour it down my gullet!!!!
I like my coffee STRONG!
It reminds me of staining paper with tea and then burning the edges to make the paper look old…..for school projects as a kid!
Oh gosh, I can remember doing that too! Even made an “old” treasure map once!
I was thinking of doing some liming on a little sanded side table, I think I might hit the coffee option!
Awesome! If you do, please let us know how it turned out!
Am definately going to try that, I do quite a bit of woodwork, frames, crosses etc
Please let us know if it worked for you!
