Right, so I'm a bit annoyed ... I ordered some samples from a company for my fireplace hearth trim and when it was all good ordered the full 3m piece of wood (With £35 delivery) and then this is the different in colours between the two samples and what I've received ... I've been told this is normal and due to natural variations but it doesn't work with what I'm going to use it for.
Therefore, I'm looking for advice on what to oil/stain it with in order to keep the colour as light as possible to match the samples which match our shelves, any recommendations? If not I'll paint it the same colour as the skriting boards which my OH suggested but seems a shame.
