Testing Varathane 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

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.

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

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

White Pine

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
