did you get splotchy results with that dye stain?

Oak should not give you a blotchy results as a rule.

Maple certainly will, and it is notoriously difficult to control the
blotchyness under the best of circumstances.

Yea I know, that's why when Leon said he used it on maple I was curious
of this was the magic bullet. I don't like the new blotchy look. I like
smooth and classic.

No,no no no I did not use it on maple, I used it on white oak trying to
match espresso on existing new maple cabinets. Just to be clear.







That said, I always like dyes over stains, but again prefer natural wood
to color usually. I just don't want the maple look. Tired of maple...
Formula: 50% Dark Walnut; 50% English Chestnut; and a toner in the
lacquer topcoat that matched the color of the Dark Walnut.


Obviously not a minwax dark walnut which is usually blah... Dark Walnut
in minwax looks nothing like real walnut.
