    looking for some color...

    i just got a bunch of spalted pecan and i'm wondering what to use to bring out the figure. i tried behlens light wheat and it's a little too orange, and i tried general finishes rosewood but it's too dark. i guess i'm looking for something with a little red in it?

    any suggestions?

    thanks!

    or shellac with some TransTint in it to suit.
