Friends: 

Sorry to be gone so long. I took my daughter up to Connecticut to visit my parents and I've got client work coming out my ears. (Client work that I don't want to do, by the way).

I'd rather be making videos. 

Anyway, I'm really proud of this one. I had to match Spanish Cedar to White Ash and I'm not one to get crazy making my own stains, so I did it all with off-the-shelf Minwax products. It came out well. 

I hope this video is instructive to others who find themselves in my position. 

As always, please let me know what you think. My Patrons always have my ear. 

Happy Friday!

excellent video, as always! I was thinking of 2 things: 1. is it possible to mix the brown+red stains and apply them as a single layer? may give better soak.. 2. did you consider the change of color over time? I'm not familiar with ash, but some wood types change color considerably as they mature/age. Anyway, the lighting and color balance are perfect, and the color match you achieved is superb!

"To the kitchen." Immediate response... you're no longer married are you? 😆

It's cleaned up by the time she gets home and I light a scented candle. Everybody is cool about it.

You make a good point, as always. It could change over time, but I know it won't be in direct sun, which is the biggest driver of color change. Hopefully, all it will do is get a little darker.

a bit off topic, what do you think of gel stains?

Not off-topic at all! I've actually never uses a gel stain and I don't even know what they're supposed to be for. Have you ever used one? How did it go? Also, welcome to the channel! Very happy to have you!

I've used it twice. Both for a dark stain on pine for bathroom vanities. It was pretty easy, but the dark color doesn't exactly showcase the grain. I don't have a ton of finish experience though.
