Yep, we used Osmo Polyx to turn our pine skirting and door frames into an oak colour to match the oak doors we had, pretty successfully. We rang Osmo and they were really helpful, asked what the base wood was and the colour we were aiming for (we ended up sending photos) and they then recommended the colour for us, then it was just a case of building it up in layers until the desired colour matched.

Attention: super boring post.
I have been sanding the stairs and it's nearly time to think about oiling them.
I'd like something that's as close a match to the banister as possible, but that's a varnish and it's really quite red.
I'd like to use a hardwax oil, preferably Osmo Polyx as I've used it a few times with consistently good results.
Has anyone used the Terra tint before? We've got the Amber in the living room and it's definitely lighter than the banister - but two coats could possibly darken up to something similar.
Wood Finishes Direct also recommended Fiddes hardwax - but again, I can't seem to see a stain that's going to be too similar.
Any suggestions from the woodworkers among you?
