Hello,
I am trying to replicate the color that was partially done by previous owner. I stripped the rest of the wood and now i need to pick the same or very similar color and blend it together.
Attached image shows old color. When I sand it a little at point where i want to blend it with stripped wood I see there is some white color that looks like paint and then bare wood. I wonder what is that white color? Is it a varnish? What color of the stain it might be? And what type?
My plan is to go with red mahogany, but i am not sure if this is the same? I also found some old can with red oak color? Could this color be a red oak?
I have 7 year old can with Minwax red mahogany and I tested it on a piece of wood and seems to look similar but little darker and misses that reddish color. Could the 7 year old stain loose its color richness? I tested on pine and probably my wood is maple or something else? I am not a wood expert. I know that different wood looks different with same stain, but i want to at least get closer. Attached are my test patches. Would the wood look reddish with the varnish?
