Hi Guys,
I'm still very much amateur with woodworking, especially when it comes to finishes, so please bear with me...
I'm building a new cabinet out of pine and plywood for our bathroom sink, since the old mdf one that came with the house has swollen from water and is coming apart. I want to finish the wood in an almost black/very dark brown colour to match the mirror cabinet above it (or at least get close).
I'm not sure what finish to use for it. I have applied an Indonesian Teak stain to a scrap piece of the plywood, and it is not even close to the colour I want. The brochures and bottle have a very dark, almost black colour, and my plywood has somewhat of a brown/purple tint to it.
Should I consider going with paint instead? I would like the finish to still have the wood grain to it, as with the other cabinet already in this style.
Here's a picture of the cabinet with the finish I want to copy. (I understand this finish is manufactured in this way and is probably some kind of veneer)
