I want to tint boiled linseed oil can it be done and any ideas about with what!I have a yuck pine piece I have semi finished stripping back to pine :) and am also using linseed oil on my floor Floors looking wonderful just as I wanted it to be, so wondered if I could add some colour to it to make it darker for this cabinet Not wanting a highly polished finish fact not shinny at all, but applied a bit to an area I have taken varnish off on but just brought it back to same colour :(I guess it's a case of what will mix with oil!Any ideas please.I am a person that looks and thinks outside the square so any boilded plant or the likes that might do it tea bags! Through probably want it a very strong tea colour Thanks in advance Anne Just wondering if I got unboiled linseed oil and boiled it with tea bags!Edited to add :)

Stain the wood with teabags - and then oil it might be the way to go.

My pleasure I have done similar in the past and tea is a very good stain.

we used to stain the wood on gunstocks with condy`s crystalls (pottasium permanganate)before oiling,don`t get it on your hands or clothes.
