Make sample boards first. Beware the blotching.

Sucks it up like nobody's business. When you do your test pieces, add a bit of compatible vehicle to "thin" the pigmentation. I went to dye, but pigment staining is possible.

Well, that is the LAST time I will use aspen for anything other than secondary (maybe not even that) wood. While the stained shelf turned out pretty good, the small painted table was a PITA.
