Directions
To stain wood red, take two ounces of Brazil wood and two ounces of potash; mix them with a quart of water, and let the composition stand in a warm place for several days, stirring it occasionally ; with this liquor, made boiling hot, brush over the wood, till the desired depth of color is obtained ; then with another brush, brush, over the wood, while yet wet, with a solution of alum, in the proportion of two ounces of alum to one quart of water.
For pink or rose red, use double the quantity of potash.
For a less bright red, dissolve an ounce of dragon's blood in a pint of spirits of wine, and brush over the wood with the tincture, till the stains appear to be as strong as is desired ; but this is, in fact, rather lacquering than staining.
For a pink or rose red, add to a gallon of the above infusion of Brazil

wood, two additional ounces of the pearl ashes; the red may be ren- dered yet paler, but it is proper, when more than this quantity is added, to make the alum water stronger.
To stain wood black, brush the wood several times with a decoction of logwood, then several times with common ink.
To make a very fine black, brush over the wood with a solution of copper in nitric acid as for blue, and afterward with logwood, till all the greenness of the copper solution is taken out.
All light woods may be dyed by immersion. A fine crimson is made as follows : Take one pound of groLind Brazil, boil in three quarts of v/ater, add one-half ounce of cochineal, and boil another half hour ; it may be improved by washing the wood previously with one-half ounce saffron to one quart of water; the wood should be pear wood or syca- more.
Purple satin : One pound logwood chips, soak in three quarts of water, boil well an hour ; add four ounces pearl ash, two ounces pow- dered indigo.
Black may be produced by copperas and nut galls, or by japanning with two coats of black japan, after which varnish or polish, or use size and lampblack, previous to laying on japan.
A blue satm: One pound of oil of vitriol put in a glass bottle with four ounces indigo ; lay on the same as black. ^ A fine green : Three pints of the strongest vinegar, four ounces best powdered verdi- gris (poison), one-half ounce sap green, one-half ounce indigo. A bright yellow may be stained with aloe ; the whole may be varnished or polished.
