Tasmanian Oak To Beech

lundi 22 juin 2015

G'day, Complete novice here. I just picked up some Tasmanian Oak which I plan to build a kind of tray to enclose a piece of glass for mixing paint on, basically an artist palette. Ideally I would like the finish to match my easel which is Beech. I realise the grain will be very different to my beech easel but need help choosing a stain or finish to match the tone and colour as closely as possible. Here's my easel:

Above is a previous attempt at what I'm making but in Pine, I'm not happy with the finish at all. Its blotchy as hell and has shiny & dull patches depending where you are viewing it from!, no idea whats caused this. I applied F&W Timber Primer to the wood before staining it with oil based Walnut Satin Stain&Varnish by BP.

Top piece is Pine, other two are Tas Oak

I would appreciate greatly anyone steering me in the right direction with this small project.

Thanks,

Sam
