This would be my first post and it has to do with a current project. I'm building a Butternut bookshelf with lower drawers and face frames of Butternut, and an upper shelving unit with face frame and shelves of the same Butternut. My challenge is that I have planned to use a veneer ply for the back and side of the shelving unit and I want it to closely match the face frames. I priced Butternut Plywood, and veneer, but both are more than I want to spend. My next thought was to stain a more reasonable ($$) ply veneer to match the Butternut. I am new at stains, as most of my finish is either pre-cat laquer or paint, both sprayed. I also have had no luck in finding Butternut as a stain color. Anyone have a suggestion for the process or the stains to mix to get a close color??
