How do you get an Arts and Craft finish on Red Oak without fuming?
I have been hitting it with cherry stain, then ebony stain and it gets that chocolate color. Then I would follow up with blond shellac or water based polyurethane. I am thinking of trying a mixture of Boiled Linseed and Tung oil after the stain to make the ray flakes pop a little more. Will this work on top of the stain? What about gel stain, do these types of stain have anything to offer?
My grandfather did a lot of Arts & Crafts/Mission work. He used beeswax or other finishing wax, such as bowling alley wax. Rub it on with a very fine steel wool and rub off vigorously with a soft cloth.

My intention is to try and offer a little something of interest for everyone who may drop by -- in fact, no one should be able to arrive on this website and find nothing whatsoever that catches their notice. And should anyone feel like posting a comment -- why, all the better!
