This is my favorite one so far. . . . .
First i stained everything BUT the leaves and acorns with Cherry stain.
then stained the leaves with various Minwax colored stains.
the acorns were stained with walnut and honey maple.
covered everything lightly with a cherry gel stain then lightly wiped it off to highlight the veins in the leaves.
Finally, covered everything with a couple coats of clear gloss.
