I’m with Chris.  I have a cabinet full of stains that I often mix to get what I want.  Some of the new water based stains can be laid on top of the existing finish and when dry you can add something to give it a sheen if needed.  Just don’t rub so hard you remove the stain.

Well. Thanks a lot guys.  I feel a lot better.  And I’m happier looking at them after the BOL has dried.  I also have a cabinet full of different stains and the like.  I didn’t have any denatured alcohol, BOL, Danish Oil, or acetone.  But I was able to get it all at Home Depot.  You won’t find it at Menards, at least I couldn’t.  I have tongue oil, I would hazard a guess that if I would use that on top of the BOL, I should give it the full 72 hours of dry time.

So here’s the riffle back together.  I wanted it to look more original than it did with the varnished yellow stocks.  I’ll let y’all be the judges.  

Thanks for all the help!
