The Art of Color Matching in Restoration

But i’ve been struggling lately with color matching for some antique furniture pieces. Each wood type has its own unique grain and hue, and I’m finding it challenging to replicate that same look while making sure the restoration is seamless. Has anyone else dealt with this issue — i’d love to hear about the techniques or tools you use to get the perfect match.
