Red wood finish question...

[Stoots]

Fellers, I'd like to achieve a red tint to the wood on the Kentucky kit I'm starting on next month.

Can anyone advise a stain shade to apply to walnut to get a reddish tint?

Any opinions or advice welcome!!

When I was at a place called Woodworkers Source today, I noticed BEHLEN Master Solar-Lux alcohol based stain is available in at least 8 different wood colors as well as Red, Yellow, Green and Blue.
The Mahogony is available in 3 different colors, one rather brown, one very red and one which is purpleish.

If your applying one of these stains to Walnut, you should do some experimenting because they all will darken the wood.

If you can't find these stains, most woodworkers stores will have something similar.

Stoots,
Try Brownell's powdered stains. You can match dang near anything with these.
