How do you think oak should be finished for re-enactor events ?
White, brown or black ? Personally I like my Stickley-style ammonia
fumed work (mid-brown) but I've also made "Jacobean" work that's as back
as I can get it. However both of these are anachronistic for "period"
repro - that's not the colour such timber would have been when it was
made.

Hollywood tends to disagree of course - "Shakespeare in Love" being one
of the worst offenders. I haven't seen "Team Templars vs. bin Laden"
yet
