Johngr Posted October 31, 2024 #1 Posted October 31, 2024 Hi, I did a simple test to compare the paints for Oak, Sapele and Walnut from the two companies. All samples were done with two coats of paint. The Ballistol sample is not a paint but an oil and I included it as there was an empty space!. As for Oak dye, in contrast to Occre, Artesania is a semi gloss varnish with dye. What is your opinion?

Gregory Posted November 1, 2024 #4 Posted November 1, 2024 I like the Artesania oak. It reminds me of a shade called “golden oak “. I’m not seeing much difference across the sapele’s and walnuts. I think it’s a matter of what you prefer. Because of the differences in display devices, we will all be seeing different shades. You will see as much variation across actual pieces of wood.

vossiewulf Posted December 5, 2024 #5 Posted December 5, 2024 For dye stains, you need to go to luthier supply companies. Example is Hammer GMBH. Gregory, mtaylor and Canute 3 Building HM Cutter Lady Nelson 1:64
