Has anyone found the cherry colored stain to match the cabinets? I think the wood is alder, but birch would work. Is there a combination of stains that I could mix together?
I replaced my dinette with a separate table /w standalone chairs. Fleetwood wanted over $850 for the table alone. So I shopped around and found an almost exact unfinished table. It was made from Alderwood, cost me $135.
After multiple sample tests on a separate piece of wood I ended up using One coat Minwax Sedona Red #222, then one or two coats Minwax Cherry #235, finish with Minwax Polyurethane Clear Satin. I let the first coat (Sedona Red) partially dry before adding the Cherry. Then I let the combined Sedona Red/Cherry dry a little longer before adding the second coat of Cherry. You cannot tell the difference from the rest of the coach.
