Id like to stain some red oak to look like a rich dark mahogany. I can
get the color with many coats of modified tung oil wipe off stain but it
takes forever when having to allow to cure in between coats.

Is there a way to get a nice rich translucent red mahogany color with
using a stain build up? Something that brings out the grain of th wood as
a stain would?

Guitar bodies have beautiful dark colors like this usually over maple
which is very lite color. How do they do it?


Use a grain filler, dark gel-stains and tinted lacquer.
Forget the tungoil.
