<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 9506772, member: 37"]Hard to replicate 150 years of aged natural wood with a stain. Maybe some Minwax Golden Pecan with a touch of cherry added in. The golden pecan is pretty light so you may need more than one staining to get some depth. Another option might be Minwax Early American cut by at least half with mineral spirits. I use this stain for a lot of things, as it has a good balance of yellow and red. As mentioned, the type of wood you are staining will determine outcome tremendously. The example you show is maple. You will have better results with hard maple or birch..... Not so much with pine or oak.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
