Staining wood furniture is relatively easy to do so long as you have correctly prepared the wooden surface. A wood stain soaks right into the fibers of the wood but provides no protection so it must be finished. There are many forms of stains out there like oil, spirit, water and acrylic.
The type of stain you employ would depend on the wood, the finish you are trying to attain and your experience in staining wood furniture. For example, spirit stains dry really quickly so it may be difficult to get even coverage. Many newbies end up with darker patches of overlapping color which is not quite the look they wished to achieve. Water stains could just be utilized as soon as the wood has first been sanded down.
Staining permits you to color the furniture piece any color you want as you could mix and match compatible stains and dyes. You would seal an oil stain using sanding sealer before making use of varnish. Don't use a spirit stain when you plan to work with French polish on the piece of furniture. If using water or acrylic stains you have to allow them to dry correctly. This means leaving the piece for no less than forty eight hours. Otherwise whenever you apply the sealant, you will get a white haze effect on the wood. Always test on an inconspicuous spot first before using the sealant to the entire unit.
Be cautious when staining wood furniture, specifically if you want to stain furniture darker as the wet stain will always look darker when compared to the dried finish. You do not want to use more than 2 coats since it could become patchy. You have to try to get as good a match to the color you want to achieve as possible the first time round.
Staining wood furniture takes time and patience but the finished results would be worth it.
