Guys help me out, I have a shaft nearly finished on an old conversion sneaky, one I took the finish off of and am ready to apply finish to the shaft and the butt. The problem I am seeing is the shaft is way too white for it to look good to me. Is there a way to yellow the maple shaft some, maybe atleast where it meets the butt? Putting a ring on to break it up is not an option, guy had the stick for years and wants it back as close as I can get it to when he got it in the 70's. I am not looking for true perfection here, but is there any way to "age" the shaft to make it look older, or should I have used an old house to make the shaft out of instead of hanging wood that has never seen the light of day? Or, just thought, how can I get the maple to lighten on the butt?
