Impregnated cues, which use resins with stain forced through vacuum deep into cues but colored stain is applied just like any other stain. I've stained many curly, birdseye, lacewood and probably other woods that I don't remember red, blue, green, yellow, black and combinations of the above on numerous occasions. I've always used alcohol based stains but water based stains penetrate a little deeper.

I've been contemplating that for a while. So, I could soak a piece of curly maple and then cut inlay cavities for a different wood? Are we looking at days of soaking? That would also require putting the stained wood back to the beginning of the drying process, right?
