If ya picked up that stave at "Wayne's site" then it's likely been seasoning for number of years.  I was gifted with one also.
Unfortunately, on mine, I did make one lil "hole" when cleaning it up.  Live 'n' learn .......
Good luck w/ yours!!

Leather dyes work very well for this application.  - - - and just little bit will do the job up nicely!

HAHA, no don't die the wood its already been cut so I assume it's been dead. The hazards of late night posting! Leather dye will work as Onebow said, or a good gray wood stain.

Hey thanks guy's, I better get this one done first before I start the finish work!  >:D

Knoll, I did pick this one up at "Wayne's site"! I actually got two of them, I felt like I was being greedy but they insisted on me taking them.  I plan on bringing a gift for him next time for sure!  I wish I could remember that guy's name. I think it was Chad ,but not sure.  I know he lives in Willard not far from where I work. Patrick
