Thanks, George. I made this formula with what I had on hand at the
time, which did not include black. I'll try it your way some day,
when I've got time.

Another option would be to buy Jeff's book "Great Wood Finishes". In
it he give the details of his "Colonial Cherry" methods. It involves
the use of dyes, glazes and toners.

Tom I'm sure your happy with the color you are getting,
I would point out that you have a conflict in your formula,
The Blue and Yellow make green and green kills red.
This is a basic fundamental on mixing colors
Try working with Black, Yellow and Red you may be able to simplify your
formula
Good luck,
George

I think that the best place to get the information is to call Jeff =
Jewitt at Homestead Finishing. The number is 216-631-5309. In my =
opinion, Jeff is the best at this stuff and TransTint is his product.

Is there a reason that you have to use those specific dyes?
If you're actually using cherry wood, try two tablespoons of Red Devil lye
dissolved in one pint of water. Wear rubber gloves, and don't splash the stuff
in your eyes.

Here's the formula that I start with to make the stain that looks like
what I call "Showroom Cherry" : 1-1/2 teaspoons of Transtint Medium
Brown, 3/4 blue, 3/4 yellow, 1/4 red in 8oz of alcohol or water.
Try it on a test piece and then you can mess with the proportions to
suit. Usually I play aroung with the amount of red.
If you are spraying on the shellac you can use the same formula in one
quart of shellac as a toner. I use nitro lacquer as a finish and so
have no problems with the alcohol dye migrating into the finish. I
don't know if it might do that with shellac.

Joe,
I know this is not what you are asking for, but look down a few threads for
one I posted about a cherry clock I am working on. Take a look at it and see
the colour I achieved from fuming with ammonia.
Thanks,
David.
Every neighbourhood has one, in mine, I'm him.

You are correct. Jeff has a series of books, and I have not found a bad
one.
