Tinting tung oil...

[fartmonkey]

Hey folks, not sure if this is a legit topic for this section, but...

I just scored a really nice 5150 style rosewood/maple neck which is completely raw. I know for a fact that I'll be giving it an oil finish, but I love the look of Musikraft's "aged oil" finish where they add some dye/pigment to the oil.

So my question is, anyone know what this dye/pigment is and where I can get me some? I'm not sure exactly what kinda stuff mixes with oil...:scratchch

Thanks for any advice! :approve:

I don't have any experience with it, but there seems to be quite a lot of information available. A cursory search found these promising links:
