So i figure this Has been covered, but i thought id ask.
Im building a coffee table for a client. She wanted old reclaimed wood. So be it. I use most of the wood from an unrepairable Armoire. Probably a 100 years or so old. Mahogany, stained a Red Mahogany. Some of the table i had to plane some wood down and is now raw. Old but raw. The red Mahogany stain i have is close, but how do you get the "patina" of the old stain. You know, the dark kinda scuzzy look?
Is there a way to pick up the stain from the older wood and transfer it to the new?
I'm stumped. Any help would be much appreciated.
