Littlefair's wood dyes are lovingly bottled by hand in the North West of England using the unique colour formulae created by Mr. Littlefair himself.
We bring you a unique formula that penetrates the wood to produce a beautiful aged appearance on timber such as furniture, doors, skirting boards, architraves, mouldings and floors.
Our Antique Stripped Pine will create an authentic 'old stripped pine' effect, Dark Pine will create a warm and mellow colour, Golden Pine, Light Oak & Light Rosewood will create a warm, more modern shade, whilst Black Ebony, Brown Mahogany, Dark Red Mahogany, Very Red Mahogany, Dark Walnut, English Oak, French Oak, Golden Oak & Medium Oak will create an authentic hardwood colour.
Littlefair's wood dye produces the more natural 'positive' grain effect. Most other wood stains are more easily absorbed into the softer areas of the wood between the darker details of the natural grain. This results in the 'negative' stain effect as it causes the softer area to go darker which in turn leads the actual grain appearing lighter. Littlefair's wood stain enhances the darker details of the natural wood grain and produces the desired natural finish.

Colour Reproduction
We endeavour to reproduce our colours and finishes as accurately as possible - both online and in print. However there are a range of factors to consider when comparing our samples to your chosen project: the type and condition of the surface itself may produce a slightly different appearance of the finished colour. Please bear in mind the shape, size and lighting conditions. |
|
Please note: Our Water Based Wood Dyes have a matt appearance when dry and come to life when finished with Littlefair’s Wood Finishing Products. We recommend finishing your project to provide the dyed wood with extra protection. We do not recommend applying Black Ebony to decking, or in a place subject to standing water, as the dark ingredients can often prevent the dye from penetrating the wood thoroughly, having an adverse effect on the protective properties. We do not recommend finishing Black Ebony with matt varnish as this can create a cloudy appearance. |
Exterior Wood Dyes are intended for outdoor use but can also be used indoors.

Preparation
Careful, thorough preparation will result in a far superior finish.
Ensure your wood is as clean as possible and free from previous finishes. Do not apply the dye to wet surfaces or if there is a risk of rain or frost.
Application
The dye can be applied liberally with a good quality brush or sprayed onto pressure treated (Tanalised) rough sawn or smooth planed wood, sheet materials such as plywood and all raw, sanded, new or old wood.
Drying time is about 2 hours and a second or further coats will deepen the shade if required.
We recommend using protective gloves and splash goggles during use and simply wash out your brush with cold water afterwards.
Completion
Littlefair's Water Based Exterior Wood Dye will provide excellent outdoor protection and enhance the grain of the wood to create a natural matt appearance.
The colour can be further enhanced by applying our Superior Danish Oil or our Water Based Titan Topcoat.
If applying to decking, use our Decking Oil Plus+ for greater protection against wear and tear and maximise the UV protection. The decking oil will dry back to a natural looking matt when applied over the dye and create the ‘duck’s back’ water beading effect.
It’s important to note that the final appearance will be a combination of the natural colour of your wood, the effect of the dye and the finishing product if used. With this in mind - always produce a test piece so you can properly judge the result.
