To simulate wood grain on Wingnuts planes artist oils are recommended. Many posts use Tamiya acrylics. Is there a problem using acrylic burnt umber and the other suggested colors? Thanks.

No, there shouldn't be any problem, as long as the paints you're using are compatible with the undercoat. The benefit of using oils is that they won't lift off the acrylic undercoat but if you can make it work, then go with what you've got
