Applying Stains and Clear Finishes
Staining- is the process to change the color of the wood without changing it’s texture.
Types of stains:
Pigment stains -are made by adding color pigments together.
Penetrating stains – are made by mixing aniline dyes in oil.
Wood Stain Finishes:
Wood Toned - Lightly pigmented wood-toned finishes add color to the wood, while enhancing its natural beauty.
Semi-Transparent- Semi-transparent finishes allow both the natural grain and texture to show through.
Solid Color- The most durable finish, solid color stains reveal the texture of the wood, but generally conceal the grain.
Clear Finishes
Those that penetrate the wood
Ex- linseed oil, danish oil
Those that stay on top of the surface
Ex. Shellac, varnish, polyurethane and lacquer
