Gold Crown V - Question

[Elmo]

I just bought a new pool table. It is a Brunswick Gold Crown V. I bought the Mohagany tournament edition. Can anyone tell me what color the Brunswick mahogany actually is? I already have a wooden pool light and want to stain it to match before the table gets here. In some of the pics on the website it looks brown and in some it looks tanish and some it looks cherry red...Can anyone give me better pics? Any advice would certainly help. Thanks!

I have tried to stain things in the past based on pictures and descriptions. It never seems to work very well in my experience. I just don't think you can capture stain shades in pictures.

I would wait till you have the table, buy 3 or 4 stain colors at home depot and trial/error on a scrap wood until you make a good match.

Congrats on the new table.

Great post Ian.
I absolutely agree.
Don't rush things, all in its time.....
