I'm looking for idea on what Possible on my 1943 oak wood floors ? Any

carpet from the master bedroom (original carpet). awesome staining job.
The floor was stain a dark color with light color streaks every so
often. Sort of reminds you of some the more modern wood floors of today.


Look into ammonia fuming' it darkens the wood when reacting with the

machines, diazo?
In shallow pans over a heat source with the room sealed off.
