    cherry sapwood coloring

    Hello,

    Due to my ...um.... "choices", I will have a bit of sapwood showing at the top of the front apron on a piece. How best can I color the sapwood to match better?

    Dye appplied with a small paint brush. But make it a little darker than you first want because the rest of the piece will get a lot darker over time from UV and oxidation.

    Would that be one of those "choices" with sharp teeth??? LOL (Been there...done that...)
