I have been commissioned to build a display case for the school I teach part time at. They want the finish to match the other book cases and tables in the area. These items are the "cherry" finish sawdust book cases you buy at the big box stores. I looked at the transtint dye selection at Rockler and the water-based dye stains from General Finish. The closest thing I have seen is the Merlot from GF. I don't have a supplier close by, so I can't see the colors in person.
Is the Merlot a close fit to the cherry finish typically seen on the big box pieces?
Thanks,
Chad
