| Golden Oak ¶ Formula: 8 ounces nigrosine black, dry, oil-soluble,
4 ounces yellow, auramine or naphthalene, aniline, dry, oil-soluble,

Brush on this stain, let set about quarter of an hour and then brush on the filler across the grain. Rub in the filler with a wad of excelsior or burlap to force it into the pores of the wood. The natural colored filler will lift the excessive amount of stain on the surface and color itself. When it begins to set flat wipe off all of the filler on the surface, wiping across the grain and being careful not to drag the filler out of the pores. ¶ Filler: Silex (silica) natural color. ¶ Finish: Shellac (orange), varnish and polish to full gloss, or rub dull.
