Can sapwood be stained to match heartwood? Yes it can. Pre-stained the sapwood with Mohawk’s red mahogany stain diluted with Lacquer thinner. Followed it, after dry time, with my custom color to match the existing siding. Everything blended beautifully. You’d never know the trouble I started with if the pics didn’t tell the tale. (The custom color applied directly with no pre-stain left an obvious difference in the final product. This extra step solved the problem.)
