I made some and did a test holster in it for about 24 hours. It was not quite as dark as with the walnut I made before so I put it in the sun to darken. That didn't do too much so I put it on my bench under a strong lamp and forgot it.

After a while, the whole house smelled like burnt coffee. OK, I got a big old dark spot on it and the rest was still anemic. I tried roasting another spot on it further down to see if I could match it up but got limited success with that. Good thing it was just a test holster and not something I'd show in public. Oh, yeah, the thing reeks of burnt coffee, now. I think the smell is permanent. I don't have the heart to throw it away because I may find another way to make it look worse. My brew was a pound of coffee in a gallon of water boiled for most of a day. I tried drinking it, too. It was bad enough to make a dog bite his grandmother. You might be able to remove epoxy with it. I may boil another pound of coffee in it to see if I can darken it some. I may donate it to the great underground tank.

"... I may donate it to the great underground tank. "

I just shot my failed attempt ..no not Coffee ..My elsewhere mentioned Pine Cone mixture ..
Actually, it did work except it was lighter than I wanted $:-\$
I tried coffee too, saved grounds for several days, It was somewhat darker...still not what I'm after...

I'm still looking for a really dark brown. I'll find it yet, even if it isn't coffee. I'm boiling up some of Ace's pecans right now.

MW, I realy think that 48 hours in the Pecan, and you will have what you want

And on your coffee holster do the Vingagroon, I am sure you will have a Black holster then

Or you could sell it to Starbucks as a Promional Thing

Thanks

I love the Pecan dye!

Got one on my living room carpet that my wife blames on me. It isn't pretty, but it sure is permanent.

The Wife or the Stain ?

Not sure about the wife. She's only been with me for 43 years, but that stain looks like it's gonna be forever.

OK, the coffee brew is gone. I tossed it into the porcelain well. Now the refrigerator is full of jugs of walnut and pecan dye. I ended up with two gallons of it from the batch of pecans. I have a test piece in it now. Looking forward to seeing what it does. I do know this, I spilled one drop of it on the concrete. It's gonna be there for a loooong time and I washed it off immediately. That's promising in itself.
