I just did a piece where I wanted to put boiled linseed oil on the lacewood part and a gel stain on the cherry part. I taped everything off with painters tape but the BLO still leeched on to the cherry (in this case, it wasn’t horrible and I could blend them). A gel stain sits on top of the wood whereas a penetrating stain goes into the pores. You could also use a toner that I think could work (but I would sure experiment first). <u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1f497d"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1f497d"> Curious what others think.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1f497d"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:20.0pt;font-family:"Brush Script MT";color:#1f497d">Chuck<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1f497d"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><div style="border:none;border-left:solid blue 1.5pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 4.0pt"><div><div style="border:none;border-top:solid #b5c4df 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in"><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">From:</span></b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif""> Woodworkers [mailto:<a href="mailto:woodworkers-bounces@lists.sawdusters.org" target="_blank">woodworkers-bounces@lists.sawdusters.org</a>] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Larry Works via Woodworkers<br><b>Sent:</b> Thursday, February 21, 2019 6:35 PM<br><b>To:</b> A place where woodworkers talk about woodworking<br><b>Cc:</b> Larry Works<br><b>Subject:</b> [Woodworkers] Stain and wood type<u></u><u></u></span></p></div></div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><div><p class="MsoNormal">My wife wants to make a plaque.
