I got a perfect match with brown dye and mahogany stain; on cherry.


What kind of dye, toller? DO they make a wood dye, per se, or are you
talking about something else?

Vague superficial answers aren't good enough?

I used a mix of 3 parts Transfast Extra Dark Walnut and 1 part Antique
Cherry Red; water soluble dye.
Bought it at WoodCrafter Supply.
I then put Minwax gel Mahogany over it.

I am sure you can get the right color with different dyes and stains. The
important point is that I found using both a dye and a stain gave exactly
the same appearance as the Stickley finish; which I presume is a tinted
lacquer.
