Start by choosing a project you'd like to complete. You can make a simple box or a large entertainment center.

How To
How to stain wood
The process of staining wood involves the application of chemicals to the wood's surface, which causes it to change its color. This chemical reaction changes the wood's color from white to brownish. The most common type of wood used for staining is oak, although many other types of wood can be stained.
There are many ways to stain wood surfaces. You can mix the stain with a solvent, such as turpentine, and spray it onto the wood. Others use a solution made up of water and dye, which is then applied directly onto the wood. You can also mix stains with varnishes or paints so that they become part the finish coating.
Preparing the surface is the most important step in staining wooden surfaces. Cleaning the wood thoroughly removes any dirt or grease that could interfere with applying the stain. Sanding smoothens scratches and rough spots. Then you must decide what kind of stain you want to use. Penetrating stains are different from non-penetrating. Penetrating stains penetrate deeper than non-penetrating stains, which makes them great for dark colors like mahogany. Non-penetrating oils work best when used with light colors, like maple.
After deciding on the type of stain, you want to apply, prepare your tools. A paintbrush works well for applying stains because it allows you to spread the liquid evenly across the surface. To remove any stains left behind after painting, you will need some rags. If you are planning to mix your stain, ensure you have enough containers for each component.
After you have prepared your materials, clean the area you intend to stain. To remove dirt and dust, use warm water and soap. Use a dampened rag and clean water to wipe the furniture. If you intend to stain darker wood, make sure you get rid of any debris.
The stain should be applied next. Next, apply the stain to the furniture by starting at one end. Slowly and carefully work your way along the grain to reach the opposite end. The stain should not drip off of the wood's edge. Before moving on to the next steps, allow the stain drying completely.
Clear polyurethane is used to protect the painted surfaces. Three coats are recommended for polyurethane. Allow the third coat, which should dry overnight, to dry before sanding.
