To Stain a curious Yellow.
In this case, take the knotty Ash or Bur, that is very white, knotty and curled, Smooth and Rush it very well, and when it is well warmed, wash it over with a Brush dipped in Aqua∣fortis, then hold it to the fire till it desists to smoke, Rush it again when dry, then Pollish it, and Varnish it with Seed-Lac, and it will be of a curious colour, not inferiour to any Out∣landish Yellow wood, and if you put filings or bits of Metal, as Copper, Brass, &c. each Me∣tal will produce a different tin∣cture.
