Staining of SA stocks
I know that Fiebings alcohol-based dyes have been widely recommended for coloring raw wood on stocks. What shade have you found that works the best for SA walnut? Or is there a blend that has worked well? I'm assuming that multiple coats of a lighter color are better than getting it too dark to begin with? Any tips you can share? Many thanks.

Dick - I have had some luck matching U.S. Krag stock color with "ZAR" brand oil stain, #124 - Rosewood, from my local hardware store.
