I have what is either a birch or beech stock I would like to dye or stain pink for the girls.

What would be the best process to achive pink and still see the grain?

Red food coloring and then clear coat? Just my idea. IDK if it would work but it stains damn near everything else.

you could try what this enterprising housewife discovered, then follow with a clear coat.
A Young Wife's Tale: Berry Wood Stain

she did blueberries...

but her blackberry or raspberry samples look pretty pink too...

or you could go this route:
use a pink watercolor paint and then seal with a clearcoat...

but using berries might be a fun (and tasty) project for yer girls...

just make sure you put down plenty drop cloth :lol:
