Stain

At The Original Workshop, stain plays a key role in enhancing the natural beauty of wood while providing protection against wear and aging. Stains come in a variety of shades and finishes, allowing woodworkers to customize the appearance of each piece, from rich, deep tones to light, natural hues. Whether you’re working with hardwoods like maple and walnut or softer woods such as pine, the right stain can highlight grain patterns and add depth to the material.

Applying stain requires skill and precision, as the absorption varies depending on wood type, sanding process, and application method. Oil-based stains penetrate deeply, while water-based options offer faster drying times and lower VOCs. Custom staining techniques, such as layering or distressing, can further enhance the character of a piece.

From furniture and cabinetry to cutting boards and decorative accents, staining is a key finishing step in many woodworking projects. At The Original Workshop, we carefully select stains that enhance durability while complementing the unique qualities of each handcrafted item. Whether you prefer a rustic, vintage look or a modern, sleek finish, stain transforms raw wood into a stunning final product that lasts for years.
