I am replacing my outside cockpit benches with ones made from mahogany. I was planning to varnish them, but sample tries show that the result is a very light, almost blondish color. I would like to possibly stain the wood darker and then varnish over that. Any suggestions for what stain to use?
Use your mahogany scraps to test various stains. And if you are using Cetol, it has some color also. Gordon
