- CLOC-AdminWe have a 37CKSLS 2011 and the wood looks like cherry wood. Yet we can’t match it does any one know how to find this out.
Okay what happened was the light above desk came loose while we where going down the road and beat the stuffing out of cabinets above desk.
Thanks every one for your reply’s.
Want to tell you what happened since I wasn’t the reason.. Well I was driving so maybe I did..
Posted: 8:51 AM – Jul 06, 2014I would take a small door or a drawer to your favorite paint store and let them match it up.Posted: 9:49 AM – Jul 06, 2014If the scratches are deep you will need to purchase some stainable wood filler and like said above have the stain match the wood. After you fill and sand put some clear coat sealer over the area you have fixed.Posted: 8:30 AM – Jul 07, 2014It really banged it up One thing every one should know check the screws on your lights.
I don’t recall the light seeming to be loose and I had changed lights just before.Thanks for your replies.
Posted: 11:15 PM – Jul 12, 2014You can also check out Min Wax stains at paint stores and WalMart. I found the perfect semi transparent stain for our Honey Oak wood and No One can tell where it was stained compared to the regular wood. Hugs, DiPosted: 11:45 AM – Jul 13, 2014I am a retired wood shop teacher. In my classes I used the MinnWax brand of stains exclusively. They are easy to work with and if you head to one of the big box hardware stores, there usually in a great selection. The wood in your Carriage is cherry wood and some care is necessary when staining, but usually will turn out very well. My suggestion is to take a drawer or door with you and try to match. If you can find a piece of unfinished cherry ( I have some scraps) test out the color before you apply.Now, as far a getting the scratches or dents out, I suggest that you get as many as you can by simply sanding as much as possible. Sounds easy, but requires patience. I personally do not use fillers.
As a final finish, get a can of satin polyurethane. I prefer lacquer, but it would not be compatible with the existing finish. Ventilate the area very well and apply when there is low humidity. Use thin coats and apply at least 3. Smooth and rub the last coat with 400 or 600 grit paper and lubricate with water.
