I recently saw Norm build a mahogany frame and panel room divider. I believe his finish was stain, shellac, and wipe on poly. A previous episode featured a mahogany headboard with a similar finish. I really like the resulting dark color of the completed finish of these projects.
Does anyone know what brand and shade of stain he used? Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thank you for the help.

I didn't see the show but...
I just finished a bookcase of honduran mahogany. I finished it 50/50 with BLO and Minwax Red Mahogany stain. It ended up dark but red enough to be nice...
Todd01,
You can go over to Norm's website and ask the color stain question. They also have a FAQ section which may contain the answer.

No luck from Norm as of yet. I will give it a couple of days.
