What may not be clear from the pics is that the cord whipping color then matches the downtube/top tub printing fairly well. Maybe a little too much red in it, but close enough.
I think I'm going to do a coat of clear shellac next, let that get good and dry, then see if it needs more amber, but my thinking so far is that it doesn't, and a little too much of it would turn the green to dark brown, and then where would I be?
