The #035 Fayetteville finish can be approximately matched by using a combination of Min-Wax stains as follows:
Strip the finish off the top using nitrocellulose lacquer. The final sanding should be 150 grit. Then apply Min-Wax Rock Maple or Colonial Maple if you cannot find Rock Maple. Let that dry at least 8 hours and apply Min-Wax Jacobian stain. This will add the translucent brown color required. If it appears too pale, you might need to add a few drops of Min-Wax ebony stain to achieve the effect. I recommend using lacquer to match our process.
