Expensive? Yes, but hands down my favorite stain to work with-very easy to get a good result. This color is one of my favorites esp. for mid century refinishes.
General Finishes Oil Base Gel Stain 1/2 Pint
The only polyurethane top coat I use!
General Finishes Arm-R-Seal Oil Topcoat Pint
Traditional finish-super easy to apply, reversible, *odor blocking*, does amber over time so not for light painted projects
Zinsser Clear Shellac, 1 Qt
These are my favorite stain/polish rags! They're nice and thick and I can usually stain a whole piece without using multiple rags.
