Custom White Oak Stain Formula

Our custom white oak stain is one of the most requested details in our home.

Preserving the natural color of the wood was a priority for us. After testing over half a dozen top coats, methods, and stains, we achieved the perfect finish.

Method:

  1. Thoroughly clean the surfaces.

  2. Apply the custom oil-based stain with a sprayer.

  3. Quickly wipe off the stain with a soft cloth, allowing some to settle in the grain for a subtle color.

  4. Apply an additional coat of stain to certain areas as needed due to variations in the wood.

  5. Seal and protect the wood with 2 to 3 coats of clear matte polycrylic top coat.

Disclaimer: We only tested this formula on white oak. Results may vary with different wood species.
