Birchwood Casey Walnut Wood Stain (Model 24123) is a water-based liquid concentrate designed to enhance the natural grain of unfinished timber and impart a traditional brown-walnut tone. Formulated to penetrate deep into raw wood fibers, it provides clear colour definition without hazing, clouding, or grain-smearing. Supplied in a 3 fl oz (approximately 88.7 ml) bottle, this non-bleeding, sun-fast formula can be applied at full strength on lighter timbers such as birch and beech or diluted with water to achieve lighter, custom shades.

Key Features

• True Grain Definition: Penetrates raw wood fibers to produce a rich walnut colour without obscuring underlying grain patterns.
• Sun-Fast & Non-Bleeding Formulation: Formulated to resist fading under UV exposure and will not bleed into subsequent protective topcoats.
• Adjustable Tone Control: Water-soluble concentrate can be applied at full concentration or diluted with water to produce custom lighter hues.
• Fast-Drying Water Base: Offers fast re-coating capabilities and straightforward water clean-up without harsh chemical solvents.

Who is the Birchwood Casey Walnut Wood Stain for?

• Gunstock refinishing enthusiasts — requires a water-based wood stain in a 3 fl oz bottle to penetrate and re-colour stripped military surplus rifle stocks before applying a protective topcoat.
• Custom knife makers — relies on a water-based 3 fl oz wood stain concentrate that allows custom water dilution to match and highlight natural grain on shaped wooden handles.

Less suitable for: Workpieces sealed with polyurethane, lacquer, varnish, or cured oil finishes (which prevent stain penetration and require complete stripping to raw wood), or projects requiring standalone weatherproofing without a dedicated protective topcoat; choose a pre-combined all-in-one exterior sealant-stain for standalone protection.
