I am renovating a 100-years old house. I have three different kinds of woods to match to ONE same stain color.
- 100-years old reddish brown wood - painted but stripped by now, old stains still left. A bit dark brown.
- New red oak base moulding - no paint, no stain, new
- New construction grade Douglas fir door trim - no paint, no stain, new
My painter told me that I should use the SAME oak for the door as a trim to yield the same stain color. Otherwise, he won't get the same stain color for all three different kinds. I do not want to paint.
Would you please help me getting ONE stain color from these three?
I would appreciate your help.
