No, this is stain produced from soaking walnut hulls in water. There was
convo on this several months ago, I think in June, so check the archives on
black walnut and you'll find the recipe.

Hi!

If anyone is familiar with French photographer Laurent Millet work, I'm
interested in what type of STAIn he uses on his prints:

"Les Cabanes are black and white photographs captured with an antique
8x10 inch wooden box camera, toned with selenium, tea, or walnut stain,
presented as diptychs or triptychs. Millet created these transient
sculptures from the remnants of fishermenıs shacks on the coast of
Portugal; their lines and shapes offer sanctuary for the viewerıs
imagination. "

An example can be seen here:

I'm assuming this is not Home Depot stain? Correct?

Thanks

Mac
