That's what happens when you dip it in cherry Kool Aid.

BTW - The original stain sample was copied from a desk in the
Winterthur Museum, which had previously resided in Congress Hall in
Philadelphia and was dated from the 1770's.

You will find the same color, more or less, on the Goddard-Townsend
highboys and shell desks.


Of course, what did they know?

Ain't no effin' way the 230 y/o desk was that pale/red unless
the thing never EVER saw the light of day in all that time.
No fresh cherry I've ever seen has been that red, only stains.
Did they actually have the gall to stain cherry back then?
It's unnatural!
