It's hard to find a finish that doesn't immediately darken new wood. (That includes epoxy resin--an alternative finish).I'm restoring a 76 AMF sunfish. I just built and replaced the tiller and extension. Does anyone know a stain that will match the color of the original honey gold mahogany blades? I would like to match them as close as possible before re- varnishing everything. Thanks in advance everyone.
I think this is overthought!5 % Natural
15 % Ipswich Pine
40 % Golden Pecan
10 % Gunstock
20 % Colonial Maple
10 % Fruitwood
You may need to go 15 % Fruitwood and 15 % Colonial Maple but you will have to test it.
