I forgot to mention that sometimes I use food coloring to get a see thru shade look to a neck.but then do the sealer over that to seal it in.

Michael,
I cheat all over the place on finishes.
I sand down and then put a coat of poly on the necks or boxes,knock the rough grain back down and then just add whatever paint in what ever color I decide on and let dry.I then go back and add another coat of clear poly on top of that for the gloss.
A lot dont use poly but it works for me.
The colors are just regular spray paint you can buy about anywhere.

Roger, will you tell me what you're using for those colored stains?
