I have had more than one customer ask me to refinish something made from pine so that it looks like something else made from oak. This is an important detail that many clients don’t realize. Now lets get one thing straight: there isn’t a damn thing you can do to oak to make it look like bamboo. Pretty reasonable, right? Well anyway, he’s building a custom piece for a client who wants the color to match a particular bamboo cutting board. Well, to tell you the truth, that’s my standard color matching consultation fee. This weekend, my buddy Ron from RJones Woodworks stopped by to bring me Dunkin’ Donuts coffee. The formula should always (hopefully) be consistent and if you ever need to reproduce the color again in the future, you’ll thank yourself. And if you can find the perfect color in a commercial product, I say “why not?”. Over the years, I began to realize that many times the perfect match is sitting in a can on the shelf. We used to mix all kind of crazy stuff together to get that perfect match. I was fortunate to work in a refinishing shop for a while and I had the opportunity to learn about color matching using various techniques and materials. But does it always have to be this convoluted? Let me spoil the ending for you: NO! There are so many different ways to arrive at a final color and look that it can drive you nuts! Lets see, there are alcohol and water soluble dyes in liquid and powder form, oil stains, water-based stains, pigments, toners, gel stains, glazes, and the list goes on and on. Contact your neighborhood location for available services.In my opinion, color matching is something of an art form.
