I am trying to match the stain on Darrell Peart’s Greene & Greene blanket chest. Does anyone have it and will let me know what it is? It is shown in issue #243 of FWW.

Found this on FWW site from that same issue (243):
"Greene and Greene furniture maker Darrell Peart developed his own finishing technique to mimic the beautiful patina that’s been a hallmark of the style for decades. It’s a simple mix of seven parts orange dye stain with four parts medium brown, to achieve that deep, rich color. The finish is capped off with multiple applications of an oil-urethane topcoat."
General Finishes makes all those and are available at your local Woodcraft store.
