Introduction: Testing Barn Red Stain
This week, I test Varathane Barn Red Stain on several different species of wood. Like, common lumber, white oak, white pine, poplar, maple, red oak, and cedar. I hope this helps someone that wants to try the Varathane Barn Red stain.
Remember the more coats you put on the wood, the darker the stain.
I have also included the video from my Youtube channel
Step 1: Staining
When staining with this product, brush on and let the stain set for about 5 minutes, then wipe off the excess and let dry.
Step 2: Common Lumber
This is what the Common Lumber looks like with the Barn Red stain, it gives the wood a real different look, I love the look
Common Lumber is 2" x 4"'s and 1" x 2" lumber that you can buy at Lowes or Home Depot
Step 3: White Oak
This is what the White Oak looks like with the Barn Red stain, it doesn't look to good on the White Oak, that's my opinion
Maybe I should applied a second coat to White Oak, it has a tighter grain
Step 4: White Pine
This is what the White Pine looks like with the Barn Red stain, it looks good on the Pine wood, I love it
Step 5: Poplar
This is what the Poplar looks like with the Barn Red stain, it gives the Poplar a real different look
Step 6: Maple
This is what the Maple looks like with the Barn Red stain, it looks good, better that the Worn Navy and Aqua stains
Step 7: Red Oak
This is what the Red Oak looks like with the Barn Red stain, it highlights the grain in the Red Oak.
Step 8: Cedar
This is what the Cedar looks like with the Barn Red stain, it gives the Cedar a real different look, I love it
Step 9: Finish
Thanks for checking out my Instructable, hopes this helps someone that wants to use the Varathane Barn Red stain.
Note that I just applied one coat to each of these pieces of wood, it would look different with multiple coats
