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 Worn Navy 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 Worn Navy 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 Worn Navy stain.

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