Choosing a Stain Color

Choosing the right stain color is one of the most important steps in any wood care project — and it’s not just about aesthetics. The age, species, and current condition of your wood can all significantly impact how a color looks once applied. That’s why we highly recommend ordering a 4 oz. sample before committing to a full purchase.
