Nothing my wife has done, but a guy I work with has a few dozies (I hope he doesn't mind).
My co-worker works on a lot of cars, and was using an empty five-gallon bucket left over from restaining his deck for draining transmision fluid into.
His wife tells him one evening that she gave the deck another coat using leftover stain from the five gallon bucket.
"Was it red?" he asked.
"Yes."
I asked him how it looked, "Not really bad, I just don't know what transmission fluid does to wood."
