I plan to finish a newly constructed american white oak dining table to match existing "Tudor Oak" furniture. I don't like heavily coloured varnishes, and I want most of the colour to be stain.
In the past I have got a good colour from:
1. a base stain of Bichromate
2. Then when dry, Vandyke crystals heavily doped with ammonia.
To finish I want to use stained Rustins Danish Oil to help deepen the colour.
:?: Has anyone used Liberon Concentrated Spirit Dye in Danish Oil? They recommend Rustins oil based stain, but I am worried this will dilute the oil too much.
:?: Any better ideas for a deep dark brown stain?
:?: Should I put on a couple of rubbers of Garnet Shellac as a sealer before the Danish Oil?
