I have an oldish solid wood or what I thought was solid wood table. I’m trying to strip and restain it. However there was a lot of some kind of filler on it. I sanded that off and found a greenish looking wood underneath. So now what? How do I go about staining this so it all matches?
Different colored woods
Filler that was over the whole table

It is very difficult to match colors on different types of wood. I build a lot of furniture and cabinets, and if can’t match colors I accentuate the difference making sure there is a lot of contrast between the two woods. On most pieces I use contrasting woos and that makes it ‘pop’. BTW...green colored wood is almost always poplar. It is almost exclusively used for a substrate under veneers and wood that is to be painted.
Thank you. That makes since.
