Chromic Acid

[ButlerFord]

Recently there was a topic in which someone had posted a picture of 5 rifles. The wood in each had been stained by a different method. The method and results were shown. One was the use of Chromic acid. In the photo, the stock that had been stained with chromic acid appeared to have a greenish cast to it. My questions, I suppose would be: Can anyone help me find the thread, and does chromic acid cause a greenish cast to the wood or was that a result of the photograph and my computer.

I found the thread,[url] http://www.muzzleloadingforum.com/fusionbb/showtopic.php?tid/189951/[/url] , and as normal, I was mistaken, there were 6 rifles. So only my second question remains: does chromic acid produce a greenish color?

Yes.
