Tried & True Dark Walnut Stain & Finish, Pint

I used this product to finish a walnut bed. It brought out the deep color and wood grain, applied easily and added to the beauty of the piece. I would definitely use it again.

Very happy to see this product on Amazon! Anything that can give me a break from running to a home improvement store is a win! Easy to use, beautiful color.

We used this cherry stain on several items: our floor crib, a wooden wall hanger for mobiles, and an unfinished wooden teether toy/rattle. We put 3 coats on everything, the instructions on the Tried & True website were very easy to follow and as recommended we used cotton rags to apply it, which I ordered on Amazon along with the stain. A little goes a long way, we still have half a pint left. We did all of this in the baby’s room, since there are no fumes or VOCs from this product and it’s easy to clean up any excess that drips. No need for gloves either since linseed oil is very safe, and there are no chemicals in this. Be sure to follow the instructions and wipe vigorously with a clean rag between coats, and you shouldn’t have any issues. It took my hubby and I an hour and a half to do the crib. The little toy and the mobile hanger only took maybe 20 minutes. It was very easy, we left them alone to cure for a couple of days, and there is no tackiness. We love how they turned out with the cherry stain! :) We have some floating bookshelves that need to be sanded before staining, so after hubby sands those down we’ll be staining those with this as well so everything will match in our baby’s nursery.

This worked so much better than I expected! I used the cheapest wood from Lowes called “white wood” and used the Java finish on it. I’ve heard that other stains bring up the grain so you need to sand after applying but that was not the case here. It left the wood with a nice feel, unless you put too much on then you’ll have to keep wiping off the excess. You really don’t need to apply much. Photo of the scrap wood shows one coat above the white line and two coats below the white line so not much difference with multiple coats.

This Tried and True Golden Oak stain and finish was relatively easy to apply and rub off. It goes on thin (best applied with a lint free cloth). I did 3 applications because it is on a doll cradle that I am sure will get a lot of use. Otherwise, I would ha pre applied one or two applications. There is an odor which took about 5 days to dissipate. Stained true to color. Gave a nice semi satin finish. I will use it again.

Awesome stain! Made a cover for our built out custom van for the glass top induction stove using all maple and to use it also as a cutting board. So, to match the existing stained butcher block top I found this here and it was perfect. It did take about 6 thin coats but eventually I got it to match pretty darn near! Highly recommend it. It went on alittle thicker than other food grade stains but that’s not a bad thing.

The color should say orange oak and the label picture ofcthe color be changed to reflect the actual color. I would return if there was a way.

The product is probably fine. I wouldn’t know because I chose a very ugly color. Definitely not the look I was going for

Made a couple of feeding stations for my son’s dogs. I used oak and they were looking for a dark finish. This seemed perfect. Stain and oil in one go and food safe. Will happily use again.

Excellent product as usual. I’m super happy. Favorite brand of finish. I use their stuff for all my protect. Great and cost effective

No surprises read instructions carefully. Colour was Good application easy

This product is black! Not brown. It took a week and a half to get here and ruined our project. Absolute garbage!! It stinks! The grain is black the wood is very.dark brown. Yes we applied very light and were horrified! Almost ruined our antique dresser.

Le service est excellent
