stain expertise needed
Hi all,
New to this so please be gentle. I have recently built a deck out of spotted gum, but used cypress for my posts. I want to stain the cypress posts to match my deck, but in the stains that I have tried so far, I am having trouble eliminating the yellow out of the cypress.
My spotted gum has an orange tone through it.
I originally used a walnut colour (in a quantum natural oil) and have since added a mahogony tint to it.
And before anyone suggests it, yes, I should have used spotted gum posts in the first place... and no, I don't want to leave the cypress in its natural colour.
Thanks in advance... all help appreciated.
