Coloring Maple a Mahogany Red
By David Krall

Thanks to all who responded to my request for info on the round-edge
flat steel material.

Now for a finishing question.  The interior maple components on my
Artrio Angelus have a dark reddish mahogany finish.  This was either a
dark red stain or an aniline dye.  I think this red finish was common
at one time.  Has anyone researched the best way to duplicate this
color on maple?  I've tried several dye stains, but they don't produce
a dark enough color.  Any suggestions?
