Re: Best yo stian in Curly Maple
Check out aniline dyes. They come in powder and liquid form and can be mixed with water or alcohol. You can also mix them for the “perfect” color.
A good resource is “Understanding Wood Finishes” by Bob Flexner.

The Greenhill formula is what you're thinking of.
Here's a calculator: https://www.vcalc.com/wiki/AndrewBudd/G ... Twist+Rate
At those velocities with the bullets typically fired in these guns, I can't see it "over-stabilizing".
