Thank you shipwright. I use Transtint Liquid Dyes. On this project I used their Vintage Maple on the curly. The walnut sides I used Behlen Dark Walnut Lacquer Toner sparingly to even out the color variations. Then everything was top coated with several coats Behlen Lacquer in high gloss. After over a week of curing I rubbed out the finish from 600 to 2000 grit followed by Maguireās rubbing compound and polishing compound
