That is two coats of Cabots semi-transparant stain. I start with Cabot's Oak Brown. I have it mixed up at 1 1/4 which is enough pigments for 5 quarts but mixed up in a gallon. Then, I have olive green added to it. Adding green cuts the reds and creates what I refer to as a "true brown". I hope that helps.
