Hey Segway,I have used FW prooftint stains and had good success with them. Walnut is a nice shade of brown. Have never tried the weathered look with vinegar and steel wool. Maybe you could do the whole body in the FW and just sand back the top a bit to make it look weathered. For the final coat you could use DT final coat if you have any left. Otherwise (DB will shoot me for this haha) tru oil or FW do a wipe on poly, otherwise a rattle can clear coat.
