Ursula D-S Posted September 8, 2020 Report Share Posted September 8, 2020 Hello, I am new to this page! I make 1:12 scale marquetry, turnings and carvings. I am looking for a method to deep stain ivory and other tooth green. Not just green but verdigris green. The only recipe I have found is from 1710 (Diderot) and in old English and the names and measures are not useable. Or it is very poisonous! Besides, I do not have fresh warm goats milk, hot horse manure available as required 😳 I do have copper bits and dust. On old furniture and items you will see this green dyed ivory. Does anybody know how it can be done in a modern way? I have searched for several years in books and online. It must be dyed deep enough to take sanding! Ordinary stain does not go deep into the “grain” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
