Just completed new birch ply base cabinets for a kitchen in a rental apartment. I'd like them to match the original top cabinets that are still in place.
I've tried several shades of minwax stains with both varnish and polyurethane as a protective coat. I think I have the right "darkness" but I'm having trouble matching the "orange" color of the original cabinets.
Could the orange tone be due to aging? The original cabinets are 40 years old. Could I sand the original and recoat?
Any thoughts or suggestions would be aprreciated
TIA
