      I'm no wood expert but I would say as long as the rubber wood you're using is a very light color, it will be very similar

    Hi i have a question when you do 2 finish with the minwax poly then the arm and seal, do it matter if they are satin or gloss? will you have the same result if you choose different minwax poly?

    • @DavidBlodgett

    Did you apply a pre-stain conditioner before staining the birch with the sundry stains? If you didn't, this could alter the final stain look for these stains.

      I did apply a wood conditioner, yes.

      I was originally going to use provincial for staining my birch butcher block to use as a desktop, but after seeing this video, the final result is not what I was expecting, because most videos showing provincial are not staining on birch.
      Now I'm back to square one trying to decide which stain to use.

    • @RT-jp9me
      @RT-jp9me Рік тому

      The other important thing that I am noticing is that the color on the box of the stain, is not the color on the wood. Originally, I had decided against honey because the color on the box was so dark. However, in your video, the honey is not dark at all but rather a pleasing light color.

      Do your own A-B test on spare piece of wood, always different seeing it in person in the room it will be in. Also, you can get a darker color by putting two coats.
