[QUOTE="joe blowski, post: 9506263, member: 17814"]The golden glow in the photo is an example of a color I admire and would like to reproduce on some of my refinishing projects. This photo is of a maple (or birch) piece which is 150 years old. I've tried a few combinations of 'golden' oak with 'dark' oak or 'maple' oil based aniline dyes with shellac, orange shellac or tinted shellac on vintage oak, maple and birch but haven't been satisfied w/ the result. I'd appreciate any suggestions! Thanks. [ATTACH=full]450221[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
