I have some raw maple parts that I would like to stain to achieve a more 'vintage' maple finish.
I was looking to put a final finish on of Osmo Polyx Oil, using a 'wipe-on' method, so I would like a stain that can be applied in the same way, and will work with the Osmo.
Does anyone have any product recommendations please?
I used a light application of 'Montypresso', it's ok, but is a little more brown than the amber you might want. It certainly helps remove some of that Ibiza 'first day on the beach' studio tan feel from the maple:
Bloody expensive though! https://www.montysguitars.com/products/montys-montypresso-relic-wax
Probably only really worth it if you're also going to use it for it's intended purpose: darkening pao ferro or light rosewood fingerboards as well. (Which it excels at).
