Hi David,
thanks, I tried it on oak and had the steel-wool in the alcohol only for one day. It turned very dark immediately.
For the present project, I don’t want such a strong darkening, I just want to keep it natural. I hope to have the joinery done on wednesday and then I will decide what to do. One idea is to just mix some pigments into the shellac and go with that, then do some further testing to use the “kitchen-stain” on later projects.
Cheers,
Florian
