    Hey Vox, so you want to go from yellow to amber ? What DT stains have you got nullarbor ochore and acacia, I would try mixing some NB into the acacia and do a small test on some scrap wood and adjust the mix till you get a suitable amber colour.

    Thanks Wokka!. Just gave it a try, probably 40/60 Ochre/Acacia. Sanded off a fair bit of the Acacia, but the wood had a distinctly yellow effect however, I'm getting closer to the amber that I would have preferred.

    Must send a note to Adam suggesting pics of the DT neck finishes, instead of the bottles. Would make life easier for us artistically challenged peeps!
