Default Examples of various finishes on different woods

I'm currently working in walnut but oak and mahogany are also in line
to be used. I have a variety of finishes on hand including tung oil,
salad bowl oil, lemon oil, varnish, and shellac. Is there any site
or book that has pictures of what these and other finishing materials
look like when used on various woods?


There won't be a nickel's worth of difference among the oils. The varnish
will add its own color (if oil based) as will the shellac...more coats, more
color. On the woods you mention color from varnish/shellac will be slight.
