Les,
I'm with you in this colour, it is a fantastic green and it's brought the grain out fantastically.
Okay I'm biased, I do a lot of staining on my Vases but it is good to see someone else doing something so dramatic with colour.
For those that ask 'Why colour?', it's easy, colour sells where straight wood doesn’t, also I use a lot of plain Ash, Maple or Sycamore so they need something more.
