Just take a look at Norm's entire body of work. He almost always smears
some black tar crap on what was a nice looking piece of furniture,
although I think that it may actually not be as dark in reality as it
looks in the finishing room on the show. I can't recall him ever leaving
anything a natural color.

I'd have to check which ones but I recall projects finished with Danish oil
only.

Cheers!
