How to tone down yellow in ash timber furniture?

Hi all, I bought these stools recently and I love them but the timber is just a tiny little too yellow for my liking. I don’t want to return them, is there a way to very subtly tone down the yellow? I’m ok if doing this darkens the timber a little as getting the colour as close to the floorboards is ideal.

The product is listed as being constructed in ash timber with an upholstered plywood seat.

 

TIA!

Hello @nellapicon 

 

Let me tag @Dalinders to make them aware of your questions. If I recall correctly the original recommendation was to use Feast Watson 250ml Liming White Satin Stain & Varnish - 250ml. But Dalinders did mention that they only used a very small amount. I suggest waiting for confirmation just to be sure.

 

Are you painting a similar product? If you are, please don't forget to post an update. I'm sure our members are keen to see what you are working on.

 

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.
