Calabdark: you could always PM her and ask she was polite enough to reply to me.

As to my receipe I\'ve used Gw\'s Scorched brown as the base. Bestial Brown 2nd coatand then mixed in Vomit brown to varying levels.

Hope it helps.

Ebony:
Basecoat: Black
Highlight: Cork Brown
Cedar:
Basecoat: Orange Brown
Highlight: Vermillion

Cherry:
Basecoat: Black
Highlight: Red (926)

Oak:
Basecoat: English Uniform

Hope this helps!
