This is for a Cherry cabinet. I've ordered (per Jeff at Homestead) some WB
Fuhr #355 Acrylic Varnish and the #365 Sealer (as well as some Red/Brown
trans-tint, just to experiment later).

Here's my thought. Can I use Danish or BLO under the WB ? Maybe some
Cherry or Fruitwood Watco to get the color and texture nice, then the WB
over that ? Even if that is OK, am I looking at waiting days or weeks for
the oil to dry well enough before I can spray the topcoat ?

Anyone done this ? BTW - I would have ask Jeff on the phone, but he seems
so busy, I felt guilty about taking his time. Plus there's a good chance
that someone here has done this (or similiar). Like many who do Cherry
projects, I'm just looking to help the 'aging' coloring along a little bit -
not a lot - just a little.

The topcoat will be sprayed btw - got a GREAT deal ($250) on a Turbinaire
that was used once for 30 min !

Jim,
Putting cherry in direct sunlight and rotating it periodically will "age"
it nicely in a fairly short time.

Jim, I spray General Finish Water Bourne poly over Miniwax mahogany oil
stain all the time. I have never had a problem.

I've used BLO and oil-based stains under WB poly many times without
trouble, provided ample curing time is allowd for the stain or BLO. 24
hours at a minimum, longer on cool or humid days.

Hi Jim,
Why not ask the question on their Finishing Forum? Several full time finishers
contribute to that group. JG
