I'm still a noob here and this is my first question. I need a little help with finishing some hard maple. I would like to give it a darker cherry color. Some of the stains and gels I've tried do not look good at all. Does anyone have some experience with this?
I would like to use some boiled linseed oil to make the grain pop and will probably use a few layers of de-waxed shellac to seal it. It would be nice to have a topcoat (poly) on the shellac or should I stick with the shellac?

So little time and so much to learn
