Tried Jeff Jewet's routine.
Wet rag, resand, BLO, dark walnut gel stain, amber shellac.
Wet rag, resand, Transtint in water, sand, SealACell, restain, ArmRSeal.
Transtint in alcohol, SealACell, ArmRSeal/
Wet rag, resand, Transtint in alcohol, SealCoat shellac, gel stain, ArmRSeal.
etc etc etc. 1lb cut ornange shellac, 3 lb cut orange shellac, BLO, transtin, general finishes, amber shellac, wipe on poly, etc.
I think I've used more qswo making samples the last 3 weeks than I did to make the table!
Nothing I do seems to pop the flecks the way I want them to pop. I even tried fuming. I really like the finish in the picture on my white board.
And I know this subject has been covered here. Searching the Mill gave me some of the recipes I tried.
BUT - the only 2 that come close are dark walnut, scuffed, amber shellac and special walnut stain, BLO, amber shellac.
Any suggestions or personal recipes would be greatly appreciated. I'll try anything. I would hate to paint all that qswo black.
