The simplest is takeing sraps to store to test different colors of stain.

Yea they keep telling me to add more coats....but I don't want a really dark table.

I agree that more coats are only covering the problem up instead of achieving the color desired. Pros would use drops of colorant to "kill" the orange but i don't reccomend novices attempt it unless they are wanting to learn the trade.

What would the colorant do? Make it just a wood color? Do you apply and wipe like stain?

Cole you are asking for simple pat answers but there is none. People spend months going to class and/or apprenticing under pros in order to do what you ask me to tell you in 25 words or less. Since you jumped on this despite my reccomendation,here you go. Call the mfgr's # listed on container. Ask for type and source of colorant suitable for tinting the product. Buy some red,yellow,blue,white and black along with a few containers of same color stain. Measure out 5 batches of stain,3 oz each. Put a bit of stain on 5 scraps of wood. Put 1 drop of red in 3 oz stain and apply to board alongside origional stain. Do the same with each of other colorants. Now mix a little of each 3 oz with one another. Try to explain what happens.

Alright thx again and I'll try that sorry to annoy you lol

Cole, I think you are reading annoyance in the wrong place. I got a bit annoyed when I read your first post - what I saw was "I applied stain to a hand made table without testing the stain on a scrap, and now I screwed it up. Please help!" You asked/researched too late - that should have been done before you applied anything to the finished product. Kind of like "I squeezed all the toothpaste out of the tube - how do I put it back?"

Since you made the table, perhaps you can replace the one board that you stained, and start over - practicing on scrap pieces until you find the stain color/application technique that gives you the look you desire.

If you can't do that, and need to fix what you have, use scrap lumber again. Apply the current stain, so you start with the orange color, and try different colors over the top. You may find a combination that is acceptable. Be sure to label all of your test pieces, so if you find a winner, you can repeat it!

Good luck.

Ditch the stain and use wood dye. Woodcraft and on line sources for getting it.Several links to find what you need.

So the first pic is of a stand I made before with the same stain with the same wood.....2nd pic is of the one piece I stained for the table. Thank you both for the advice!

Pics aren't loading lol

Basic color theory: BLUE neutralizes orange. But you should run tests on scrap since you don't have experience. Blue stain is a little hard to find :-) I like to use glazes to adjust the color once the base stain is on. A glaze is a compound with lots of pigment and a little bit of binder that is added between coats of finish.
