Re-Finishing Maple Problem
I did a job for a company that ordered 50 maple items. They chose maple
because they wanted to match their existing office decor. These are small (2˛ X 10˛) desk name bars with engraved plates. I used hard maple and finished them with Natural Watco Oil then buffed them with Carnauba wax with the Beall system. When they received them, they saw that they were lighter than their office furniture and advised me that their office furniture is done in cherry-maple, a wood that Išm not familiar with. They asked me if there is a way to darken the name plates and I told them that, if therešs a way, someone on this newsgroup will come up with the answer. Sanding and re-staining would be a very last resort. Thanks |
