Added example and tried to slightly clear up meaning

| Aug 4, 2016 at 18:06 | comment | added | Graphus | @keshlam, agreed. It has been touched on in passing in a number of Answers but no Q&A specifically on that as far as I know. | |
| Aug 4, 2016 at 9:43 | comment | added | keshlam | That point about how finishes age probably deserves to be its own Q&A, so folks can find it in the future. | |
| Aug 4, 2016 at 7:23 | comment | added | Graphus | @keshlam, yep all of those options will work to add some yellow, just to note though that if you want the colour to stay consistent shellac is the one to go with. Both BLO and most varnishes get noticeably more amber over the years (as does tung oil if you were tempted to use that instead, further reducing any perceived advantage from it!) | |

That may be as simple as using a shellac base layer, or boiled linseed oil, or an oil-based varnish. As is often the case, I suspect I'll need to experiment on some scraps.) | |
