This is beautiful. It looks like a classic design. Mostly I see trendy upscaling.

how can you tell the difference between "tannins" and "nicotine"? I know in part just from the smell for the nicotine, but on the paper towel they sort of looked the same to me. Wow, what a reveal - just beautiful. You did a wonderful job, I love it.

Both would require the same Boss primer. But your right it’s hard to tell.
