Staining Alder Cabinets


We have been creating custom colors for our clients for over three decades! We use Daly's products for all of our wood staining, and in this case, we combined it with Pratt & Lambert glaze to obtain the detailing you see in the photo.
 

Our customer gave us the sample piece in the top right-hand corner of the photo for us to match. Then, we were brought a complete set of raw, alder kitchen cabinets to stain. Here are the steps we took to get the look:

1. Distress wood
2. Benite
3. Stain with Daly's wood stain
4. 1 coat of AC sealer conversion varnish
5. Glaze with Pratt & Lambert
6. 1 coat of AC sealer conversion varnish
7. 2 coats of Krystal conversion varnish

What do you think? Can you tell the difference between the sample and our match?
