Plan B was an epic Fail!!!

Decided to add a bit of ink pad black ink just to darken things up a bit and oops, went way too dark. Evil stuff as I am sure it has some oily properties as it wouldn't dilute down nor wash off once applied. Took me 2 days to sand it all back to bare wood and start the whole process all over again.

Just the 1 coat of Tea and then 1 of the Vinegar solution and dry it looked unreal and was really happy however as finish was applied it went a bit darker but still OK. Here are some progress shots...
