Best match for hardwood sills

Hi

I need to stain/ varnish some internal hardwood sills to match my rosewood-colour uPVC windows.

What would give the best match? Sikkens?

Thank you.

    It depends what 'rosewood' is being matched. The rosewood from one company is the dark cherry of another. Best get some colour charts from Sikkens, Cuprinol, Ronseal etc and see which is the closest match
    Eat vegetables and fear no creditors, rather than eat duck and hide.
