In our last blog we spoke about Peat ingraining. Most people won't have a clue what we are talking about so I shall explain. I was experimenting with textures which could be applied to timber and discovered that peat was a great way to stain the timber. It works well with ash because the light timber gives a good contrast with the dark peat. The ash has an open grain which the peat can cling to. In the picture Andrew is appling the peat to the timber. It is then rubbed with a cloth. When it has dried we sand the timber to take of the dirt and re-expose the ash but the peat is left in the grain.
