Pics don't quite capture the richness of the grain and how it pops in person, but this is the blue grey(classic grey labeled minwax) and jacobean combo, this I did on western cedar to make false beams for a client.
Gives the general idea.

Those are sweet!

Having come from a past life building Japanese spirit decks, I am most impressed with the picture of the deck you built. :D

OK putting my amazon shopping cart together questions

1. what duty of clamps do one needs for this type of project? and how many I am guessing 4?
2. is there any non iron on birch trim.edging out there? or do you experts cut you own?
3. what size of over lay Euro hinge does one use for a faceless door?
