Craig,
From my limit experience (this stock), you are correct. After sealing, the colored mixture was applied to the damaged areas only, using the black streaks in the grain as a border. I just finished a GENTLE rottenstone/linseed rub to blend the edges. Applied a topcoat after the rub. I was on the fence whether to continue with the color or just use the 50/50 topcoat. Went with the color.

I surprised myself. My wife to!
I'll get some pics after it is complete. Wish I had taken before pics.

Thanks for the help,
Bill
