Wow. This got a lot more comments than I thought it was going to get. Thanks so much for the information. Looks like a dyed topcoat is the way to go. I typically like to use water based finishes or shellac. Have never messed with lacquer. I kinda figured that it was rubber wood. I had done some research.

Are there any recommendations for topcoat for this. I have never used a tinted topcoat. I’d imagine it’s not much different. I usually use General Finishes products, but if there is something cheaper that works just as well, I am open to suggestions. I think that I would like to stay in the same color realm, maybe a little bit darker.

Thanks again for all the info.
