I am making a table out of 7 pieces of red oak.
5 pieces are kiln dried and have a pink color.
2 pieces are air dried and are pretty white.
All the wood has been in my basement for over a year (presumably it is
all the same moisture content)
I will be putting minwax Spanish oak over all (to match everything else
in the room).
Does the pink color have anything to do with kiln drying, or is it just
variance between different trees?
I can dye the white wood before staining to match the pink wood. Is a
match today likely to hold up over the years?
