Now I'm afraid I have to disagree, Terry. Medium Walnut is too light to recreate patina on a brass escutcheon. Extra Dark Walnut is nearly perfect for this.

No problem it was a guess on my behalf. I did one but it was a long time ago.
When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
