Thanks Don. The wood is simply stained with a mix of india ink and isopropyl alcohol. It does a great job, and it's very easy to do. 
Another update on structures I've been working on, not many left to show off now!

The prototype mill didn't originally have an external waterwheel - everything was internal. Makes things handy for me!
More work to come later.
