A client in Phoenix asked me to match a stain to her dog's fur

She brought in a tuft of hair from her golden retriever and said, 'I need the legs on this table to be exactly this shade of honey brown.' I spent an afternoon mixing amber dye and walnut stain until it was close. Has anyone else gotten a request that specific from a pet owner?

Matching a cat's paw print... I used to think that was too much, but honestly, it shows how much people love their pets. It's a sweet kind of specific.

Hah, that's wild. I once had to match a stain to a cat's paw print someone pressed into clay.

Was that for a crime scene or just art, @ivanross?
