re: Woodworking Oil Stains

Their is a whole skill set devoted to colouring, staining, and finishing wood. My best advise to anyone new is to make sure to read the directions multiple times, then practice on scraps a bunch, allowing to fully dry to see the results, taking the scrap into various lighting conditions before putting anything on your newly finished project. A finish, including stain, can make or break your masterpiece. I always have a couple of boxes of disposable latex gloves in the shop at all times. A good supply of rags can be gotten from a local hotel housekeeper usually if you ask nicely.
