Vulch? wasn't he the Aussie that had a job transfer and we never heard from him again?

I think Marine A5 sniper came up with some logwood stain too.

Alkanet Root is a plant which chemically reacts with Walnut to give a reddish tint. Pilkington (?) may have a product which contains it. Not sure where to get the raw stuff anymore.

I thought the red tint came from decades of oxygen and uv ray exposure.
