I posted before about ageing cherry, I have been using the suggestion of Drano it works great the color is perfect, the only problem is I some times get small black specks almost like mold. The parts I am making now are small so I dip them in a diluted solution of drano and then dip them in vinegar, then dry them off the spots show up very quick only a couple minutes. I was thinking it might be from the type of draino (kitchen sink) maybe I should use plain lye? Or if any one knows of a stain that would give me the same color I would appreciate knowing what that might be since, I can get larger parts to quote on but I don't if I can control the color, and if I keep getting the black speckles that will be a problem Thanks Joe
