Today we are Testing Varathane Vintage Aqua wood stain, on several different species of wood, such as Common lumber, White Pine, White Oak, Red Oak, Maple, Poplar and Cedar.

I have also included the video from my Youtube channel

This is what the lumber looks like before 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.

Thanks for checking out my Instructable, hopes this helps someone that wants to use the Varathane Vintage Aqua stain.

Note that I just applied one coat to each of these pieces of wood, it would look different with multiple coats
