Pro tip: My boss and I swear by the chestnut base. It’s great for matching and just high quality all around. Idk if your store sells the Sherwood BAC Wiping stain but that stuff is phenomenal. It’ll probably be too light but that’s ok, it’s better to have to add to it than to mistint a quart/gallon and have to start over.

so the best thing to do IMO is if you DO find something that looks good DON’T immediately shoot the full formula in and assume it’ll be close. Red oak can bring out the red in stain, poplar has a green tinge. Keep in mind that different woods bring out different tones. Often the customer will say they don’t have any and that’s fine, but set expectations that EVERY PIECE OF WOOD takes stain differently so you matching their sample on a damn stir stick instead of the good wood they’ll be using isn’t going to give them optimum results.Īs someone else mentioned, put the sample you have up against prepackaged colors and see what’s closest. We can’t get very close if we’re matching on some random piece of wood we have laying around and they’re using high quality red oak or something. Always try to get a sample of the wood they’ll actually be using from the customer. So I’ve picked up a lot of tricks from him. With our simple, one-stop spot for planning your project, you're closer than ever before to completing your next stain project.Depends of course what you’re matching and what product you’re using so I’m going to throw some totally random thoughts at you and hopefully some of these help! I’ve been at SW for almost 5 years and I’m pretty good at stain matching but my manager (I’m an assistant) is an absolute demigod at matching stains. ProjectPro also has a stain calculator, so you know exactly how much to buy, alongside materials lists, step-by-step staining instructions, and helpful videos. You'll also have the option to email yourself this result and find the closest place to buy your stain and other materials. We take all that information and turn around a product recommendation specifically for your project. We know we have a lot of colours to choose from, so we've made it fast and easy to switch between them as they catch your eye. You'll get to pick from all of our stain colour offering and get a small glimpse of how it might look on your wood.

Our diverse product offering has something special for nearly every type and state of wood, so it's important that we understand exactly what to recommend. Next, we'll need to know what kind of wood you're working with (and what shape it's in). We'll still be able to walk you through whatever your project may be, but those tend to be the most common. ProjectPro has quick options for a deck, fence, exterior furniture, siding/shingles, or structures (like a pergola or a gazebo). It all starts with what you plan on staining. Starting today, we’ve got a powerful new way to help get you started, too. Olympic stains have always delivered a remarkable finish.
