How to Stain a Wooden Coffee Table
Staining a wooden coffee table is a great way to bring out its natural beauty, character and grain. It will also help to protect the wood and make it last longer. With the right materials and some know-how, you can transform an ordinary piece of furniture into something really beautiful. Here’s how to get it done.
Gather Your Materials
First, you’ll need to collect the materials you need to stain your coffee table. Here’s what you’ll need:
- Stain – Choose a stain specifically designed for wood. There are many different brands and types available, so decide which one you like best.
- Brush – An old brush dedicated to wood staining will get the job done and make the process easier. If you don’t have one, buy one.
- Tack Cloth – A tack cloth will help you get rid of sawdust, dirt and any other particles from the surface of your coffee table before you start staining.
- Protective Gear – As always with staining, you should wear a face mask and gloves to protect your skin and eyes from dangerous fumes.
Apply the Stain
Once you have all the materials ready, you’re ready to start staining. Here’s how to do it:
- Start by covering the area around your coffee table with plastic or newspaper, to protect it from any dripping stain.
- Put on your gloves and face mask and begin to apply the stain with the brush. Make sure you’re working with even strokes in the same direction.
- Once the stain has been evenly applied, use the tack cloth to remove any excess stain or residue.
- Leave the stain to dry, and voilà – your coffee table has been successfully stained!
Conclusion
Staining your wooden coffee table is a great way to bring out its beauty, character and grain. Follow these steps and you’ll have a stunning piece of furniture in no time. Enjoy!
