I want to thank everyone who replied to my earlier thread about making
a stain to match my existing kitchen oak cabinets and trim. I called
the 6 major paint stores in my area, and 1 of them was able to create a
custom stain for me. I took in a piece of my existing cabinets and
some scrap oak for them to "play" with. It took about an hour and cost
me $12 CAD for a quart. I am amazed by the results. Side-by-side I
can't tell the old from the new.

Now if only I could get back the hours and hours that I wasted on
trying to match it up myself :-(
