And that's what they got ... without the stain. But I was thinking the
whole time that some folks think "walnut" is a color.


In my rustic furniture days, I slapped a coat of Watco Danish Oil finish
on everything. This was the custom at the time. I used the dark walnut
color.

I offered to use the medium or light walnut color for some customers. I
stained up some samples to show them what it would look like. But they
rejected it because it was not an "authentic" walnut color.

So, yeah, walnut is a color. Dincha know?




Took me awhile, mainly because I'm "color challenged", but I finally got it
.... I think.
