Color treating wood to match Irish flag colors
Hey friends. I'm making a pine wood version of the Irish flag for my Irish buddy's birthday (on March 17th no less!) and I'm needing advice on how to produce the white and orange (have the green figured out already). I know I've seen bleaching and other wood whitening threads before but I don't remember what the products used to color treat were. I'd prefer using something that isn't opaque like paint, but lets the wood grain shine through as much as possible. What kind of white and orange color treatment would produce this effect...is it a stain I'm imagining? I'll be happy with traditional wood coloring techniques but I'd really prefer organic coloring materials...say like using turmeric powder for the orange, which I'm about to test.
Thanks ahead!
