I want to do as much as possible, the way things may have been done 200yrs ago so I made my own stain. Applied three coats, Rubbed it down with Brown paper bag. Then applied one coat of boiled Linseed oil...so far.
This is just a taste of what is yet to come. I think it closely resembles what I have seen in Pics of some originals.
