I am trying to coat my flute ... it is cedar with no stain on it now. I would love it stain it a dark color to bring out the grain and then make it shiny. Any ideas?

you really want to stain it? Why not just coat it with a clear polyeurathane?Don't worry that it's not good enough for anyone else to hear... just sing, sing a song.sigpic -

I finishing my wood project (flutes in particular) by sanding them supper smooth then putting on a couple of coats of linseed oil, letting the wood soak it in really well. Then I wipe off any excess oil and coat is well with carnuba wax. I usually wax it 3 to 4 times. This will make the finished piece smooth as glass and really bring out the natural grain of the wood.
Hope that helpsPB49
