I'm still using CD's and this thread is starting to make me feel old. Com'on guys, I was feeling good about just pitching the cassettes! [*-)]

Help renewing sun faded Walnut Oil finish cornwalls
in Technical/Restorations
Posted
I have two walnut oil Cornwall IIs that are a little dry and one is a little faded. I have read quite a few threads on the forum and decided to try the boiled linseed oil (BLO). I did my first application today after washing with Murphy's oil soap. I can tell the sun faded area of the one speaker is not darkening enough to look nice. I'm wondering if I should add a little walnut stain to the BLO for the second application and use this mix in the faded area carefully. Then use the plain BLO (without stain) on the rest of the wood.
If so, does anybody have a suggestion as to what type and / or brand of stain should be used? About how much should I mix in?
If you have any other suggestions, I'm open to hearing them! Thanks. See pic below. The pictures look like the speakers have a lot of light on one portion, this is actually the faded area. The left top of the speaker is faded and the right top of the side.
