Testing Barn Red Stain


This week, I test Varathane Barn Red Stain on several different species of wood. Like, common lumber, white oak, white pine, poplar, maple, red oak, and cedar. I hope this helps someone that wants to try the Varathane Barn Red stain.
Remember the more coats you put on the wood, the darker the stain.
I have also included the video from my Youtube channel
Staining



When staining with this product, brush on and let the stain set for about 5 minutes, then wipe off the excess and let dry.
Common Lumber

This is what the Common Lumber looks like with the Barn Red stain, it gives the wood a real different look, I love the look
Common Lumber is 2" x 4"'s and 1" x 2" lumber that you can buy at Lowes or Home Depot
White Oak

This is what the White Oak looks like with the Barn Red stain, it doesn't look to good on the White Oak, that's my opinion
Maybe I should applied a second coat to White Oak, it has a tighter grain
White Pine

This is what the White Pine looks like with the Barn Red stain, it looks good on the Pine wood, I love it
Poplar

This is what the Poplar looks like with the Barn Red stain, it gives the Poplar a real different look
Maple

This is what the Maple looks like with the Barn Red stain, it looks good, better that the Worn Navy and Aqua stains
Red Oak

This is what the Red Oak looks like with the Barn Red stain, it highlights the grain in the Red Oak.
Cedar

This is what the Cedar looks like with the Barn Red stain, it gives the Cedar a real different look, I love it
Finish

Thanks for checking out my Instructable, hopes this helps someone that wants to use the Varathane Barn Red stain.
Note that I just applied one coat to each of these pieces of wood, it would look different with multiple coats
