In addition, I watch four restoration channels on YouTube, and they are each fairly different from each other in the pieces they pick, the tools and materials they use, and the solutions they find to every possible problem in restoring furniture. I learn something from every one of them every time I watch. Crigun, in DE AT Restoration, Lithuania Mad City Modern, WI Transcend Furniture Gallery, Canada I promise you that the last two have done the kind of color adjustments you seek. These are just a few, many other great artists are out there. Last, furniture finish has a cultish, alchemical culture around it; bitter words can be exchanged over tung oil aliphatic glue.
