wood staining
Coloring lumber grain
Wood staining is the process of applying a penetrating finish to wood to change its color while allowing the grain to show through.
Unlike paint, stain soaks into the wood rather than sitting on top: We spent the weekend staining the deck.
Stains range from light tints that enhance natural color to dark finishes that mimic other species like walnut or ebony.
