Cherry Finish For Poplar - Part 3

You have to be diligent about writing all this stuff down. Believe me after a while you forget. I decided to wipe these dyes and stains to quickly attain color. Didn’t feel like loading the spray gun and all that. So I sanded to 180 and applied the NGR dye directly to the raw wood with a rag.

A) Base of 1 coat Gemini Raw Sienna NGR dye
B) Base of 1 coat Gemini New England Maple NGR dye
C) Base of 2 coats Gemini Equalizer NGR stain

A1) 1 coat of Gemini Heirloom oil stain
A2) 1 coat of Gemini Black Cherry oil stain
B3) 1 coat of General Finishes water base Black Cherry
C4) 1 coat of Gemini Black Cherry oil stain & 1 coat of General Finishes water based Vintage Cherry dye stain
A5) 1 coat of Gemini Red/Brown concentrate water basedmixed 1 part concentrate to 3 parts water. Then anothercoat at 2 parts concentrate to 2 parts water.
A6) 1 coat of General Finishes water based Vintage Cherry dye stain
A7) 1 coat of General Finishes water base Black Cherry

This is what I’m leaning to. We have a small table in the house and decided to match that.
