I am refinishing a mahogany end table and would like to remove the red in the grain. I've tried a number of things and have lightened up the general area, but the red is still in the grain. Would using green dye work? Any help would be appreciated.

I have stained some maple cabinet doors with a dark stain (wipe on wipe off). I noticed some swirl marks from my sander so I tried saning by hand with 180 grit paper and restained the color is good but now I see some scratches from the hand sanding going with the grain. If I use a finer grit paper the stain seems to come out lighter in color ,any one that has any suggestions would be much appreciated. I am behind on this one and I am getting ready to top coat these with clear laquer.
Thanks,
Pat |

| I'm building a small cabinet to house a TV for a neighbor. They want it painted, and I was prepared to primer the poplar I've used with Bin and paint with a color of their choice. But they also want it to look "worn" in spots to show an underlayer of dark wood. They were not at all interested in having white show up, even at the edges of a worn spot. How do I accomplish this? If I stain the poplar something dark, how do I prime over that. Can Bin be colored? Can I used some other tinted or transparent primer under a latex top coat? so when I rub out the top coats, I see the dark wood stain? |

| I just want to thank Jeff again for his great teaching and sharing of finishing knowledge. Also a big thanks to Alan Turner for hosting and giving me a place to learn. Now,... can I borrow 150 marriage points to buy some trans tint? |

| I finsihed a coupel of buffets for my wife with redish brown tint dye .. I used bullseye as a wash coat and the final finish sealer was three coats of waterlox. the wood I used was 80 year old honey locust ...The buffets final finish was a lot more redish than brown...All the coats were put on with a hvlp . Can I use a brown oil base stain mixed with waterlox to darken the buffet chest...This is a gift for my wife.[/quote] |
