I use Transtint dyes frequently, as stains and as colorants in finishes. A mix of medium brown and red mahogany will give you cherry tints. The transtint cherry is much too red for my taste.
I rarely stain or tint to try to produce an imitation cherry or other wood. I'm more likely to use cherry-ish tints to try to knock the greenish tints out of poplar, or to try to warm up drawer boxes to be compatible with cherry fronts.
I like the transtint dyes quite a bit. Like all concentrated dyes, you need to measure and record your recipes very carefully.
