Built a matching armoire and dresser from a a woodsmith plan. Had one heck of a time with staining the armoire. The sides were from 3/4 ply that was highly figured,but light colored cherry. The rails and door stiles were from a very red colored cherry board. And the door panels were 1/4 ply offcuts that i had got from a cabinet shop and had a green cast to it. Ended up with 3 different stains to blend.

That is superb work..matching a stain is almost impossible in my book so all credit to you.
Well done.

Paul, these are beautiful pieces. I really enjoy the color and warmth that cherry gives to a piece of furniture. Nice job on blending the wood colors as well.

Thanks for all the positive comments guys. Yes they are cup hinges Jim. I used one color of gelstain for the hardwood,added some darker gel stain for the 3/4 ply, and borrowed some artist colors from the neighbor to blend in the 1/4 ply panels.

Good catch Skeeter. It sure softens the splotching when you take that approach.
