Michigan Canoe Nut
Has anyone that has stained and/or tinted a canoe quite a few years ago notice if the new stained pieces have kept pace with patina darkening of the original wood? I struggle with staining/dying to make these canoes look good now, vs. how they will look with some age applied. I have my EM White that I restored in '85 and you can hardly tell which parts are newer now. I know this has been discussed, and feel this is an important subject to discuss further.
