As you can see it's lighter but no more blue. It seems to have selectively stained the grain pattern so I think I am not going to end up with the same as Adam's colour, but something more akin to a blue wash. What I'm hoping for now is that the pattern stays darker and then when I intensify and finish I will end up with a highlighted wood effect with some blue tinges in certain lights... could be cool!

Alternatively, if that doesn't work I'll sand it all back and start again! I'm in no hurry... I am finding that making a plan in this game only gets you so far, you have to adapt as you go!

Watch this space!

If the dingotone doesn't quite give you the look/colour you're going for than I highly recommend Keda wood dyes.

Here's an example of the 'royal blue' dye featured on their eBay page https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Blue-Dye...-/351877454971


And here's my example of the 'royal blue' dye (I used pure dye mixed with no water whatsoever, hence why it's so dark)
