ANTIQUE FURNITURE RESTORATION DISCUSSION BOARD

I HAVE STRIPED THE TOP OF AN OLD DANISH TEAK DESK THAT HAS MANY DARK STAINS ON IT USING CITRISTIP. I THEN CLEANED THE SURFACE WITH MINERAL SPIRITS AND THEN BLEACHED (TWO PART) THE TEAK TO REMOVE THE BLACK STAINS. I'D LIKE TO GET BACK TO THE AGED TEAK LOOK OF THIS PIECE BUT CONVENTIONAL TEAK OILS SUCH AS BEHLENS TEAK OIL, DEFT DANISH OIL FINISH, MOHAWK TUNG OIL ARE ALL FAR TO LIGHT - MORE GOLDEN THAN RED. I'VE EXPERIMENTED WITH TINTING THE OIL WITH BLACK WALNUT STAIN, AND EVEN PECAN STAIN BUT THE COLOR IS STILL TOO LIGHT. i WORK THE OIL IN WITH 600 GRIT WET DRY BUT I'M LOOKING FOR A RECIPE THAT WILL GIVE ME A THE DEEP RICH RED OF NATURAL TEAK THAT LOOKS 40 YEARS OLD - ANY SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANKS JOHN
