Brou de Noix

Description

Crystallized walnut stain ( Brou de noix ) is a concentrated hue that is diluted with warm or lukewarm water. Dilution is based on the hue you want. It allows you to obtain the final tone in a single application without risk of overlapping marks due to its penetrating and diffusing power. The walnut stain has no odor and is very pleasant to used.

The walnut stain is made of Cassel extract of vegetable origin, the Cassel extract has replaced the real walnut because of the scarcity and high cost of it. Cassel extract perfectly imitates walnut stain, which is why cabinetmakers, restorers and antique furniture reproducers use it to imitate old finishes. Walnut stain is often used to give an aged appearance to new wood before the application of milk paint (to let it appear when making wear in the finish). It can give walnut tones from pale to dark depending on the number of layers applied or the amount of pigment diluted while leaving the grain of the wood.
