I'm looking for a match for McCloskey Tungseal Wood stain Light Oak #917

The McCloskey brand name was purchased by Cabot coatings about 5 years and the Tungseal line of stains discontinued. You might call Cabot Customer service at the number below and see if they have a suggested replacement.

As I recall the McCloskey Light Walnut stain used Gilsonite (a natural mineral like tar) as the colorant. The Minwax Fruitwood or Golden Oak might be a suitable replacement. Look for a stain that lists Gilsonite as one of the ingredients.

The best thing to do is call:
