    If you like the size and look of your mantle buy a glaze in a darker wood tone and apply it. You will have total control of how dark or light you want it to be by simply wiping off the glaze. Try using a plastic bag crunched up to make wood grain lines in it. If you don't like that look try an old cloth.

    You can purchase small tins of stain and varnish over top.
