Dyes, locally sourced, ie not from internet.

Further to what Marze said, inks form your local art supplies store (Eckersley's???). Just be sure they're specifically water-based or alcohol-based inks. The alcohol ones will dilute in metho.

Another option would a wood turner's supply store (or similar). They should have a range of timber dyes. The one I've used is U-Beaut water-based dyes. Not all suppliers sell individual colours, so you may have to buy a whole pack. I paid $39 for a 7-pack, but having an assortment of colours was fine for me.

FWIW, alcohol-based inks/dyes will raise the grain less than water-based, but either will work. Just personal preference.

I've been searching for other staining options too. There's not much about for timber. Thanks for the tip McCreed. I'll look into those dyes. I wonder if they could be mixed in with linseed oil?
