If you need mortgage money (mine's paid off), run a class
enlightening the heather bastids about darkening cherry
-without- condemning themselves to an eternity in Hell.
$100 a head should cover their "insurance".
Can I get an "Amen"?

I got mine at Hine. Oops, no, that's an old LoCal ad.
www.waterlox.com is the mfgr, but I got mine from Russ at
www.woodfinishingsupplies.com both times I ordered it. Click
on Oil & Varnish, then page down a bit.
I'm going to get a gallon of medium sheen and a pouring lid
next time, then decant into smaller quart cans.

They own Minwax, don't they?
Minwax Antique Oil Finish does a great job, easy to use. Of course - your
favorite varnish here - and suitable thinner will also do the job.
I like clear looks into the wood, so I don't use satin and don't scuff a
surface.

How does spraying Deft, primarily designed to be applied by brushing,
due to it's formulation, work for you? Any reason you don't use a
traditional nitro lacquer in lieu of Deft?

Waterlox Original, satin, 4 rubbed coats. Degloss with Liberon
0000 steel wool and Johnson's wax as needed.
Thou shalt not stain cherry, Rumpty. You know that, you heathen

Are you calling my customers bastid's? If MY bastid customer wants a dark
stained cherry, that's what they get! Next time you can't pay the mortgage,
tell your mortgage company, I DON'T STAIN CHERRY!
LOL, thanks! VBG!

For lighter finishes, I prefer spraying tinted lacquer or shellac
toner coats to avoid blotching. To bring individual boards closer
together, I'll use light colored Solar Lux dyes as the first step. A
dewaxed shellac barrier coat goes on after the dye, over the whole
piece.
For darker finishes, I'll Solar Lux the whole thing with a yellow or
pink dye, depending on the original wood color, barrier coat it, and
add a Behlen's (or Mohawk) wiping pigment stain, which is again
followed by a barrier. These steps should leave the wood lighter than
desired. The final color is arrived at with toners.
Practice with samples to get the dye / pigment combos that work for
you. It's weird dyeing a piece pink or yellow, but it works out well
in the end.
Stay away from medium and dark colored dyes at the beginning to avoid
blotching.

I generally let the piece stand in the direct sun for several days (rotating
frequently) to develop a nice, deep color. My usual finish is then Deft
satin lacquer, sprayed on. I put several coats on, sanding all but the last
with a green ScotchBrite pad. I like the feel of this product, and it seems
to protect the wood quite well.
