I have just ordered a guitar kit with a flame maple veneer!
I would like to stain it blue and then use tru-oil to finish and make it glossy. I have recently built a bass and stained it a darkish teal colour and then used tru-oil, however that made the colour look much more green then I would have liked.
Will I have the same problem with a royal blue stain?
Does anyone know a good finish that doesn’t change the colour and is easy to get an Amazon or eBay?
I was also wondering if I could stain the veneer black then sand it back and then stain it blue but I’m not sure if that will be a bad idea with the veneer.
