Timoe's Mini Sticks
Kaytrim:
The chemical composition is different. Stains muddy the grain and figure of wood. Dye will keep the grain and figure sharp and defined as you can see here. If you are interested in purchasing wood dye look at rockler.com or woodcraft.com and search for TransTints. The little bottles don't look like much but they are concentrated so you mix them with water or denatured alcohol to the desired strength. I have used these myself with nice results.
Timoe:
Thank you Kaytrim ^, yes Transtint is what I used.
We used walnut for the Vewlix case just to be Extra Premium, for the weight and to be really solid. The stick will be for wireless PS3, I believe.

When making your boxes from MDF, what kind of treatment do you do for the paint?

Just wondering why you don't use MDF anymore. I am considering the same choice.
