For furniture makers and other woodworking businesses, selecting the right color and quality of furniture stain is crucial for achieving the desired project applications. When it comes to choosing black furniture stain, there are several important considerations to keep in mind. To make your choice easier, below is a checklist for selecting the right black furniture stain for your project.
Consider the wood species you’re working with. Hardwoods like oak or teak have a denser structure than softwoods like pine or spruce. Black furniture stain will react differently to different wood species. Therefore, ensure you choose the right stain based on the type of wood you’re using. (We’re happy to advise you on this!)
The natural color and texture of the wood will influence the result of the black furniture stain.
The required level of protection determines the recommended type of stain. Different quality standards apply to indoor wooden dining tables compared to outdoor wooden garden furniture. For woodwork exposed to weather conditions (and temperature variations), it’s advisable to also choose a topcoat. This helps protect the wood from various weather effects and associated problems such as rotting and accelerated discoloration.
We recommend always testing black furniture stain on a sample piece. This allows you to see how the stain looks on the specific wood you’re using. You can make adjustments as needed before committing to larger volumes.
