This method of staining did cross my mind for your chair, it's essentially putting the dark rings left by wet metal on timber all over it, or possibly the other direction of bleaching the hell out of it with oxalic acid.

Having a go at restoring an old chair. Planning to sand it all back, and then maybe stain it before refinishing.
Couple of quick questions - anything I need to do on the holes from some kind insect on the leg? And I reckon the hinges will clean up quite nicely with a steel wool and some polish. And would you seal the metal hinges with something to protect it?
