I googled “colonial maple” and a free different products came up. Sounds like a color. What product did you wipe on? Also which poly did you use? Is it oil or water based? I’m no expert on this – I only go with what I know and rarely experiment – but I do know that oil and water don’t always mix. What is it? Never oil over water, but water over oil is OK, or something like that. I’m sure someone more knowledgeable will chime in.
