1: Here’s the stripwood staining fixture, made out of a 40”
long piece of 2” PVC pipe. Note the ¼” brass tube on the end
to allow draining the stain back into the bottle, and the two
¼” square brass pieces super-glued to the end cap so the fix-
ture doesn’t roll around.

To use this fixture, I put the wood strips in the pipe trough,
add the stain of choice, let it absorb, and then place the wet
wood on a window screen to dry. After cutting the wood to
length, I use a brush and the staining solution to stain any
raw ends.
So that’s the fixture. I find a staining job goes much faster
with this fixture than with the old staining cloth method,
especially when I have a lot of wood I want to stain!
