Review: Good dark stain
Review: I spent a while hunting for the perfect stain color for a few items I was making for around the house. I wanted something darker than my hardwood floors, yet neutral, and without being so dark that it might possibly look out of place. To give you an idea, my floors are close to a what I would call a pecan colored stain, with my furniture being close to Minwax Provincial and kitchen cabinets close to Minwax Red Chestnut. Since I wanted to use this on items both in my living room and kitchen, it was important to me to find a shade that would work well with all the colors without matching any too closely. I had narrowed it down to Jacobean, Dark Walnut and Special Walnut and decided fairly quick that Special Walnut would be too light for me, which left me down to the two that were hardest to pick between since they are somewhat similar. After googling photos for ages to get a better idea of what they look like in person, I decided that Dark Walnut had just a bit more of a golden or warm tone to it than I wanted, so ended up settling on Jacobean and am happy that I did! I worked perfectly with all the other tones in my home and looks absolutely lovely! I definitely recommend using a light hand when applying or you may end up with a much darker color than desired. A little goes a long way, and while you can always build color and depth with additional coats, it is much harder to sand and start over if you go overboard ;P I ended up going with only one light coat and am thrilled with the results. The wood grain still shows through and is actually enhanced, which is exactly what I was hoping to achieve. It applied easily and evenly using a synthetic bristle brush, and any drips were quickly wiped up with a cloth without issue. It was dry to touch in about 6 hours, and set fully within about 24-36 hours, though it was fairly cold out when I used it so your mileage may vary. It was very well packaged and reached me safely, though it did take a bit longer than usual to arrive. It was exactly what I was hoping for and I absolutely would recommend Minwax Jacobean stain if you are looking for a beautiful medium dark neutral stain!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: The can says weathered oak but it is grey on the inside. Will the color change to oak once it drys**
A: When oak weathers.... it turns grey.

**Q: Do I need to apply a seal on top of the stain?**
A: Never got that far with the pint of Stain that
I received . The stain had no Brown in it for 
a Fruitwood color.  
But I would have applied a good sealer, like
Varnish or Polyurethane.

**Q: What are the steps? I’m no expert but I’m gonna try to make a coffee table. Sand, stain, then polyurethane?**
A: Sand only if needed first.  Stain the wood in one direction only and in the direction of the grain.  The directions will be on the can.  You can wipe up the excess stain with an old towel.  If you want a second coat, wait until it's dry.   Then, when it's perfectly dry, put the polyurethane or varnish (your choice) on it.  If you want a second coat of that, you can lightly sand the wood with 220 sand paper, wipe away the dust and then apply the second coat of the varnish or whatever you used.  There's gloss, matte and satin finishes.  All are nice.  It's easy.  It really is.  Have fun!  Again, the directions are on the can and easy to understand.  Oh, and wear rubber gloves!  The stain is hard to get off the skin!

**Q: would i need paint brushes or would rubbing it in with a rag work im planing on doing a diy guitar finish with it**
A: A clean cloth / rag works just the same as a foam brush and is cheaper.  You can buy tee-shirt trimmings from most stores for this purpose.   Another clean piece can be used for cleanup / wiping down the final finish to avoid excess soaking in.   I avoid paper towels on anything but a test piece since the paper towel tends to shed residue into the finish.
