Zdad Posted March 11 Report Posted March 11 My daughter has a '50s vintage maple dining table set that has an orange tone finish to it. It's like a semi transparent finish intended to reveal the grain but also to provide a uniform appearance over the varied maple grain qualities. I'm hoping to find a finishing product to duplicate it or a method to formulate one myself. The dresser photo is a very good example of the color on maple that I would like to achieve. 2 Quote
wtnhighlander Posted March 11 Report Posted March 11 Welcome to the forum, @Zdad! Hard to be sure from that one image, but it looks a lot like orange shellac to me. 1 Quote
Chet Posted March 11 Report Posted March 11 I was going to suggest shellac also. Garnet shellac can also create a orange appearance on lighter wood. Wellermart sells shellac flacks in different size packages down to as small as a couple of ounces. 2 Quote
