Clear Black Walnut

How can I get the black color of furniture that I have finished?

After stripping or sanding I oil based Olympic 'Dark Black hopes of a good finish in black I could make clear semi-gloss polyurethane for a satin finish. But the color that I get is a very Dark Brown in most places. Wood can be too dense to absorb the stain, do not know what type of hardwood. Do not know if I clean a little black paint based oil on the piece, or matte black paint, then put polyurethane … I really wanted black, not Black Walnut, I'm coming! I do not want him looks like cheap furniture, also painted in black.

Sure, you can follow the path up again, as everyone gives thinking, but this is not the reason raised by the question first: because the stain did not give the desired effect? I suggest you lightly sand the furniture. Get enamel water-based black (Base Oil). You can mix the varnish and paint to achieve the effect exactly what you want. Plus you add the glaze will become more transparent paint, however, at least more opaque enamel. Some additional benefits water-based glaze / paint mixture of enamel paint is more easily transmitted, and adds time to work if you used paint. Cleaning is easy to achieve with soap and water. For a correct application of a sponge brush is ideal, just start more toward the center and painting on the edges, with the grain, this will keep the paint from the creation or development of a ridge on the edges. When dry paint can add a polyurethane Satin water-based. I used the above method in an old dark wood desk chief I intend to throw when we have moved to our offices. Since he loved Eastern blackened table decoration, added a Gold Leaf symbol of Asia in the high and uses three layers glossy polyurethane finish. My boss was so excited about the transformation, he said he could sell, what he thought was a piece of junk, so at least $ 5000 today. If you decide to go this way I hope you are as happy with the result than he. One last remark. I recommend to all water-based because it is easier to work with, you will no brush marks with a sponge brush. However, if you use oil based products you must use a bristle brush that will be more prone to scratches and / or brush marks. And, as you probably know cleaning is a pain.
