Topic tags/keywords: mahogany question finishing

I built some picture frames for a friend a long time ago and they requested another one due to the addition of the there new baby girl. I went to my local wood supplier and they had a very limited supply, I only use it for a small accent piece in the frame. I have completed the frames and the color of the mahogany is not the same shade of color as the other frames. I have one coat of water base poly on them now does anyone have a ideas to darken up the color of the mahogany?

I’ve had some success with Minwax red Mahogany oil based stain.

the sunlight will work, woods like mahogany and cherry darken when put sunlight. And it will darken naturally with age anyway.
