staining to differnt woods on the same project the same color

Have had great success using Gel stains. Sand to 120 (max 150) for a surface that the stain will stick to. Did a lot with poplar and birch and never had any problems.

what about sanding sealers

I use Mohawk stains or varathane stains. Gel stains can not be mixed to get the perfect color. Seeing how you have two different types of wood you will ned to mix the stain to adjust it to get a nice color match.

main concern is I used ply for the top then wraped it with a 3” piece do I have to stain them seperatly?
