Use an oil-based stain with a fine pigment. Sapwood picks up water or alcohol based stains irregularly.

I knew of the disgruntled finish and now have this gal awl nay-kid

Wtf ?

He knew when he bought it that the finish was bad, and now he has it all stripped and ready to refinish...........it really isn't that hard..........But then my Grandmother used to speak Gaelic at me.........

Blonde streaks are tough to deal with - probably sapwood. a lot of the walnut you see in the lumber yard is steamed to even out the color.

Already got the first finish coat on it? oh well, I was going to suggest you try ebonizing it. You would have had to test on some piece that has both heart & sapwood in it as I'm not sure how the process would work over drastically different colors. But my guess is it wouldn't matter since it's not relying on the figure/color of the wood itself but the tannic acids in the wood itself.

I get the feeling he works hard on his posts..... kind of like how Swedish men work hard on their hair before they leave the house.

There is no doubt some fluctuation in his efforts........
I've read some posts that were completely normal, usually this is more when Looky needs technical help.

Just like most art , not everyone appreciates it.

Sometimes you have to strip them first.....

Citra-strip

Shot of tequila chased with a wedge slice of orange sprinkled with cinnamon.
Repeat until fully stripped.

And he's obviously unaware that, among other things, a CGN Team Membership will entitle him to the exclusive CGN Looky Babelfish App which provides almost instantaneous translation from Looky-ese into English. (Apparently the only caveat is that when Looky writes in normal English, the app is prone to translate that into Proto-Lithuanian, but Admin. says they'll have that sorted pretty soon.)

Third coat got put on later today.
Not looking too shabby.

My grandfather had a Cooeye M-60 that had a blond section around the bolt handle. It wasnt really noticeable with the factory finish, but my grandfather asked me to refinish with BLO. The blond streak became much more noticeable, but we both thought it actually looked better than the original look.

I say dont stain or colour it and refinish it as planned.
