My question i have is will the intensifier coat bring that out or is there a different method or product etc.want it to show it natual colors and grain without yellowish look that some oils give .any advice would be awesome thanks skillzy

    I used the clear Dingotone on my LP. Check out the link in my signature and you will see the difference it made from natural wood to finished product.
    From memory, I only did one coat of the base stain, followed by 2 or 3 intensifier coats.
    Extremely happy with the look of it!
