I have a garage door and some window lintels made out of cedarwood that I would like to stain to have a more even tone/reduce some of the orangeness. Below is a picture of what I am trying to achieve. I realize that my wood may be a different species and has more knots, etc - but I am hoping someone here can steer me in the right direction of how I may be able to achieve a similar look. My best guess so far is Sherwin Williams semi-transparent stain in Mountain Ash. Is a semi-transparent stain the right way to go? Or maybe a paint wash to tone down the knottiness? Please help! Thank you!
