Refinishing a Romy? (edit - more pix of pain)
All -
Wood from my SAR-1 (Had black spray paint on wood). I sanded. I should have known there'd be a wood refinishing forum! Too late now.
As you can see, some areas were sanded down to the white.
Anyway, wood is now sanded to the 320 or 360 grit level. (Plan to do 2 - 3x tung oil interspersed w/0000 steel wool, then poly.)
Question - recommendations for stain - minwax sedona red? Want it to look pretty authentically commie, not too pretty, just uniform in color:

Okay, Minwax Bombay Mahogany is really PURPLE. Jesus. Off to get more sandpaper. Update later.
Update: Damn. So I'm back to square one, although I may go back to the old EZ off bleaching technique I used to use w/walnut.
My goal is to not get a Russian finish but something like the mildly flat, reddish stain that was on the wood under the spray paint.
