How to Stain Wood With Balsamic Vinegar

With a few simple supplies you can stain wood naturally

• 

  Supplies: *(Real) Steel Wool (I used 0000 grade) *1 cup balsamic vinegar *1 cup water *Jar *Gloves *Paint brush ( it does not have to be a good one)

• 

  This is an example of what the stain looked like when wet (top) and after drying (bottom).

• 

  Combine 1 cup Balsamic Vinegar, 1 Cup water, and 1 Pad of Steel Wool in a jar (with a lid). Let sit for at least 24 hours. I tested my stain every 24 hours until I had the color I desired. It took one week .

• 

  Simply paint the stain on untreated boards (I used pine boards). Let it dry thoroughly, and rinse (and let dry again)

• 

  This is the beautiful grayish color of the wood after staining.

  Here is a sample showing the difference between the two vinegar stains. The top is the Balsamic Vinegar and the bottom is the Apple Cider Vinegar.
