Step 7Stain and Finish the Wood
Prior to installing the metal plates, you'll want to stain and finish the woof frame.
I used a nice red cabernet oil-based stain, and an acrylic finish.
Apply the stain with a bristle or foam brush. Apply enough coats to get the colour you want. In my case, I used two coats on the top and three on the sides, since the cut edges absorb more stain. Allow 24 hours for the final coat of stain to dry.
Apply the finish with a bristle brush. The first coat should be very light. It soaks into the wood and really has no effect. Once dry, sand lightly and apply a second coat. Now it'll start to shine. Sand again once it's dry. The third coat will really make it look good. Once it's dry, you're done with the finish!
