I ma installing some cabinets in out bath, and I need to match the stain and glaze in the kick-plate, crown, etc. Does anyone know of a web site that gives color mixing / matching tips?
Thanks,
TTF

You've gotten yourself into one of the more difficult jobs you'll ever do - lol.
If you know who made the original cabinets, they may be able to tell you how they were stained and finished. Since that is rarely possible, you're probably going to have to take a drawer front or something to a hardware store and compare it with the stain samples. It will really help if you know the wood species. I often find myself making sample pieces and mixing stains to get the desired color.
Try posting this question over in the "Community" forum. It used to be called Fine Woodworking and there are some really good stain/finish people over there.
