| Hello, and thanks in advance for any advice. We are having a house built and I asked for vertical grain fir interior trim (windows, baseboards, etc.) I am not a wood worker (which is why I am here asking for advice) and so I am not sure what to request for stain. I am having natural red oak floors and natural finish cherry cabinetry in the house. I though I would need to stain the fir in order to make it look different. You know, so it doesn't look like I was trying to make everything match but missed. But, I picked up some stains and have been trying them and I don't care for them. I took one piece of the wood and put some oil on it (cooking oil, sorry I don't have anything else) and that looked really pretty.
So my questions are...
Thanks so much for any advice! |
