"I applied two coats of GF Dye Stain in Light Brown to clear white pine boards, then used a sponge brush to lay down two coats of GF Java Gel Stain. After the stain dried, I used a clean cloth dipped in denatured alcohol to pull away some of the darker areas to reveal the amber-brown tones created by the Dye Stain. Instead of using a traditional topcoat I rubbed in a coat of beeswax. I love your products and we love our new beam." - Mary Schiff
"I bought a ponderosa pine slab, made for cabinets, from Home Depot to use as a writing table surface in my office. I ADORE the look of dye stain under gel stain. Dye stain highlights the woodgrain and provides a unique undertone when used under gel stain. The wood has a warm, glowing look and feel that I love! I look forward to writing at this table every morning, especially at sunrise." -Jamie Finish schedule over prep-sanded raw pine wood: 2 coats of Amber Dye Stain 1 coat of a 2:1 mix of...

"For the body of this dresser, I painted it in Slate Gray Chalk Style Paint. I’ve used quite a few brands of “chalk paint” before, and I definitely liked the General Finishes version. It’s a little less thick than others, which I actually prefer, and it went on super smooth. The finish also seems stronger than other chalk paints, so I left it as-is for now. I may decide later to add some furniture wax or flat acrylic, but I’d like to see how it hold ups up without a finish. I think this is...

"I picked this little table up months ago. The top was in pieces & had chunks of wood missing. I was going to build a new top but thought I'd try to repair it first. I reglued, used Bondo to rebuild the side & reattached the top. I opted not to paint this piece for many reason & I'm so glad I listened to the piece.
