DIY: Staining Furniture
Staining and finishing wood furniture may require a certain expertise however since its inexpensive, it completely worth it don’t you think? HGTV has a great post on how to learn the technique and we recommend you pay a visit to the post.
# Begin with bare wood. Prepare the wood by first sanding it with a coarse grit (lower number) sandpaper and then with a medium or fine (higher number) sandpaper. Continue sanding until the wood is smooth to the touch and the uneven areas are removed. Be sure to sand with the grain of the wood, not against it. Wipe the wood with a tack cloth between sandings to remove dust.
# Next, clean the wood with a rag or sponge dampened with mineral spirits. This helps bring out the color variation in the wood.
