| To say that I experimented with color would be an understatement. I finally chose Modern Mahogany NGR dye stain from Mowhawk. A very nice burgundy-red color. |
 |
| First step was to condition the mahogany with a wash mixture of 70% lacquer thinner and 30% sanding sealer. This will allow the stain to cover more evenly and allow more working time to wipe off the excess. |
 |
| Next, apply the NGR (non grain raising) stain in a 50/50 mixture of stain & denatured alcohol. This also allows for more working time and lightens the color just a bit. |
 |
| Wiping off excess stain. The coverage was very even and I was very happy with the final color. |
 |
| The final color after sanding sealer applied. Next I will apply grain filler then final gloss lacquer finish. |
 |
| Here are all the pieces of the piano with stain applied. The darker pieces have sanding sealer applied. Now on to staining the cabinet. |
