I'm trying to come up with the right finish for some projects I'm working on, but want to know how to get the finish I desire. I'm using red oak and golden oak stain. The light wood is coming out just about right, but the dark wood is darker than I would like. How can I get the same color in the light wood, but lighter in the dark wood? Should I mix in some natural color stain or perhaps something else?
TIA, Shawn (reply to newsgroup)
