still open and quite solid. Any suggestions for a cross reference or
match
for this stain? It looks more red/orange than any of the special walnuts
I've looked at so far.

TIA


Just a thought, why not buy more CT?

Don't they sell that at Lowe's now? I don't know any stain
manufacturers that make their colors so close to one another's that
they are interchangeable. In fact, a great deal aren't even close to
each other. The name they go by is simply a reference.

As far as I know, Park corp (maker of Carver-Tripp) is out of business. I
haven't been able to find any Carver-Tripp products at any of the usual
stores. Searches on the internet come up empty also. My can has a 1998 date
on it.
