Is there a way to recreate the warm, golden effect of old oil-based varnishes?

The choice of treatment to apply depends essentially on the type of wood used. For lightly colored woods such as cherry, beech, or cherry, simply apply a coat of double-boiled linseed oil and let it dry for 24 to 48 hours. For pale woods such as maple, white oak, or white pine, it is recommended to apply a coat of blonde shellac after a coat of double-boiled linseed oil. For colored woods such as mahogany, walnut, or exotic woods, it is preferable to use a more intense shellac, such as an orange or garnet shellac. Finally, in all cases, it is recommended to apply three coats of a premium water-based varnish to complete the process.
