Thanks. You are correct. In the oak project, I stained the whole cabinet with a blend of oil based stains to get the color close. I then used dye mixed with satin poly the blend the colors together. When I was happy, I covered then whole project with clear satin poly.Tank and stand look great. Did you use a pore filler like Crystal Lac with a tint to bring out the grain? Something I have noticed with big box store lumber and veneered plywood, oak in particular, is that just finish alone doesn't make the color of the lumber and plywood match. Stain is usually needed to color match frame and panels.
