This may be a dumb question but.... Is there a good technique out there
for staining or dying just the sapwood to more closely match the
heartwood in a board?



_When_ I do this, I usually do it with diluted Solar Lux, slowly
sneaking up on what I want. The Solar Lux can fade, but it still
looks better than an unwanted extreme contrast.
