Just a hypothetical question for all of you folks. I'm a big fan of not staining wood, preferring to let the natural appearance of the color/grain/figure be the showcase, but sometimes you want to stain it in order to accent those characteristics.
Here's an example. A piece of fir from a...
I have just been comissioned to build a custom bookcase for my church. It is to be 6' high and around 14' long. I'm thinking thats a lot of sand with a brush or wiping on. HVLP systems are expensive for just one project (I know, I can use it over, but I've never needed one for my small...
Hello I have not posted for a while but had a question. I have access to some black walnut trees I have been gathering to crack this winter. I was wondering if anyone had any use for the hulls to make stain. Any thoughts or inquiries are welcome.
I'm getting to the finishing part of my project and could use some input. The project is a writing table made from QSWO. The finish is going to be Varathane Early American (see here).
So, two questions:
Is there an advantage to wiping on vs. brushing on? I read the label and it says either...
I've got a small can of Minwax's Dark Walnut, staining red oak. After two coats, it's still not as dark as we want it. What can I mix with it to darken it a little more. It's oil based stain.
I am redoing the staircase, treads, risers and all the other stuff in some nice maple that my wifes uncle got for me. At the point right now where I need to decide to dye or stain. I know maple is a pain and have been reading on here and other places. I saw a beautiful table that Striker had...
Hey Guys, i am finishing a gunstock that appears to be made out of a somewhat softer wood (unknown) such as maple. I am wanting to stain the wood a light tannish brown color and also wanting to seal the wood with a tung oil-mineral spirits combination to get the water resiliency and somewhat of...
I have a friend that just bought a house. He had to get new cabinets made but decided to finish hem himself. He has already put on a varnish that said contained some type of varnish, but I'm not sure that is good enough. Should he put something else over top of the stain? He dosent have a gun...
Here's my problem:
Sanded SPF trestle table to 120 grit and applied 2 coats of GF gel stain followed by 2 coats of Waterlox. Well, it still feels like about 120 grit. Fortunately, I haven't committed to the table top itself except for the initial 2 coats of gel stain. I'm now reading that gel...
My wife does scrapbooking and she recently got a little spray bottle of "walnut ink" that is darker than she had hoped so she gave it to me in case I could use it. Then she showed me that she has a few others that I might try because she rarely uses them fast enough to keep them from drying out...
hi there, I just put on my first coat of BLO on one of my trestles for a walnut dining rooms table I'm makin', and the BLO highlighted a small area of wood glue overage around a joint. (I thought I had sanded this all off, but alas...) Anyways, can I put a small amount of dark oil-based stain...
Can anyone offer ideas as to what these are and how can they be fixed or better yet, how can I assure I don't have them on the rest of this chair? These are the seat slats for the Morris chair I'm working on and you can see spots on it. Being it'll be covered with a cushion, it's not too bad...
I am building a coffee table for my oldest daughter out of some steamed walnut I picked up a few years ago. After final sanding the color looked pretty washed out. Pic below.
So, I decided to stain it. I used a burnt umber pigment with mineral spirits carrier. After the stain dried I...
I have a question for all you wood guru's.
I'm building some baby cribs and including all the slats, there are a bunch of separate peices that go together.
Should I glue up the larger sections first then stain and finish them or should I stain the individual peices, then glue them up?
What do...
Has anyone here used (purposefully) rust as a stain? Ive done some searching and only come up with a few very brief comments about it. I noticed it in my kitchen floor as i was refinishing it, that the face nailed boards had beautiful dark streaks that seemed to follow the grain like a...
