Working on a bed for my 2 yr old. I had wiped on one coat of oil based stain, wiped off the excess. Waited a couple days but didn't like how the oak plywood panels in the foot board took the color, re-stained but got too dark...
Sanded it off and re-stained today. Stain didn't penetrate and is a lot lighter. So what to do?
That is where I hope you guys can help me before I make a bigger mess.
The panels and a couple other spots need some work.
I am hand rubbing a Tung oil based wiping varnish for the finish. I just need to get the color balanced with the headboard.
Stripping would be the last resort. I am not familiar with dyes/toners so I am not sure if those could be used successfully here.
Any advice would be great.
thanks, david
