I'm not going to mix bronze flakes into clear lacquer and apply a bunch of coats, this will have to be close enough.

I'll post pics in a month or so when I and the weather are ready for the next step.

I don't want to move it right now, I just put the second coat of stain on last night.
Why not water based stain? let dry and sand or steel woo the raised grain and apply lacquer (an industrial waterbase lacquer is pretty good these days), buff out to finish off
