This H&R was finished with a more traditional mixture of Teak oil and alkenet root to add color.

This Lefever was stained with the leather dye mentioned above ( cannot recall if it was the light brown or dark brown) and then finished something that I cannot recall, since it has been so long. I used the dye due to a low a dark staining in the wood. And it was applied heavier than I would normally want to go do to the issues I was trying to cover up.

Brian shows a good example of what we spoke about in PM Kurt -that is that not every blank will be that red we all associate with Alkanet root ...results are highly dependent on wood itself ,and of course anything can be stained or in some cases even painted

It was extremely hard to see the checkering outline but you certainly nailed it! And your mullered borders are perfect!..... to say nothing of the perfect flat top diamonds of the butt checkering!
