Well I managed to get a great finish on my most recent QSWO Morris chair, again following the plans Robert Lang had in PW and his own books. I think I managed to get close to a Stickley fumed finish. I built a simple tent, slid in the chair, and slid in a glass pie plate with 28% ammonia. 72h at about 50 degrees in the garage (no heat) and out popped a nicely darkened piece. It was fairly green. After 5 coats of dewaxed amber shellac (Brooklyn Tool & Craft “tiger flakes”, 1lb cut in ethanol), hand rubbed in between the last three coats with a maroon scotch pad. I think it came out great. Ready for the upholsterer to do his thing.
