No oil, I’m actually using dye and mixing my own stain. All from Amazon. To get the color change effect I’m first using blue mixed in water. That gets soaked into the wood. I apply it with a large oral syringe and spread it around with rubber gloves. After that dries I apply a quick coat of brown that’s mixed In lacquer thinner. It’s applied with a rag. The quick drying lacquer thinner keeps the stain on the surface. Dries, then sanded with 400 until I get the look I like. Then 2 coats of automotive urethane. Let dry overnight. Sand smooth and apply 2 more coats. I experimented last winter and perfected the process.
