Looks very good. I would have used Perfect Brown instead of Extra Dark Walnut for the contrasting color, as these areas are not as dark as yours but darker than the Medium Walnut body. Otherwise, great job.

Now, don't strip it and redo. It looks just fine as is.

I too hate Crystalac, and I'll never use it again. I have had very good results with the Constantines filler, but I usually have to apply three coats to completely fill the grain.

Where do you find Deft? I can no longer buy it locally.
