Update: worked till about 8 PM last night. Niece was actively assisting and asking what she could do to help. Going with the BLO. She still wants it darker. May run to Lowes and see if another oil might help darken it a little more. This has about 3 coats so far. Also added a strip of purple heart for design impact.
I'm making a small bench with some spalted maple for my niece (she picked the boards). It is very light colored wood and she is wanting a darker stain. What could we use to get a darker color with out losing the spalting lines? I don't know HOW dark she wants yet.
