I'm trying to match a color with some Red Oak that I'm working with and just about have it, but would like to get a little closer. By mixing 2 parts Light Oak Watco with 1 part Medium Oak Watco, I've got the light wood color just right, but the dark wood is just a little too dark. Is there a way for me to lighten the dark wood without lightening the light wood?
Separately, has anyone tried to match the medium oak color commonly found on laminated partical board furniture? I have some Bush and Sauder drawers that I'd like to replace with real wood, but I like the color of the current stuff.
TIA, Shawn
