Howdy All,
Well, put myself in a bit of a dilemma. Thought those jokers at Ethan Allen would have stain to sell me that would match my current living room furniture, but they dont, nor are they wiling to suggest a manufacturer close to the color. You would think when you have spent enough at a place to buy a Honda Civic that they would give a bit better service, but what the heck.
So, what that leaves is a fairly experienced DIY guy, withi limited stain experience and a beautiful piece of unfinished furniture.
I would like to match the stand as close as possible, but dont even know what some of you have done in the past. Could some of you share the following:
1. What is the best type to use? Water. Poly, etc.
2. Have you ever mixed colors to get what you want?
3. Any other secrets, or resources that I have not been able to find yet?
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
My Best,
Josh Moore
