[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 1664084, member: 3099"] Well as promised here it is. I really wish I knew what was going on with the coloring. A combination of me not having the right camera settings and working under those "daylight" fluorescent shop lights at night when I was staining it resulted in a little more orange than I was wanting being left. Still pretty happy with it. It's certainly better than what I had. In person there is a bit more brown and less orange than these pics show. This is Watco Danish Oil in dark walnut and tung oil mixed, followed by Fiebings alcohol based dark brown leather dye, followed by 4 coats of pure uncut tung oil, followed by 7 or 8 coats of boiled linseed oil. Followed by two nice heavy coats of Tom's 1/3 wax rubbed in well.
