stained wood

Dyed timber finish

Stained wood is wood that has been treated with a pigmented liquid to change its color while allowing the grain pattern to show through.

The stain penetrates the surface rather than coating it like paint.

The stained wood cabinets gave the kitchen a warm, rustic feel.

Staining can make inexpensive wood resemble pricier species or simply enhance natural beauty.
