I did some woodworking this morning! I put some finishing/staining on these birdhouses. I've never done anything like this before, it was really fun! 🪵🐦

Today in dumbass customers, I had two people return wood stain (an oil and mineral spirits mix that darkens wood) because it was. Too liquid. It was. Too liquid. The wood stain.

I'm experimenting with using wood stain on my embroidery hoops to give them a more high quality look and feel. Was inspired by this article on craftingcheerfully.com.

This turned out a lot better than I expected it to. Instead of the gel stains the author recommends, I used oil stains.

Prepared the hoop by removing the screw and covering up the metal bits with some masking tape. After that I roughed it up with some sandpaper (I used 80 grit, but I'd probably recommend 100 or higher for a more even colouring) and cleaned off all the dust.

Then I applied a coat of varathane pre-stain wood conditioner, let it sit for 30 minutes as suggested and then applied 4 coats of varathane oil-based stain in the Ebony colour.

I let that dry overnight and then applied a coat of varathane's oil-based polyurethane coating.

All told, for my first time ever working with wood stains, it didn't go terribly. Definitely do all of this outside or in an otherwise very well ventilated area and be careful because all of these steps involve working with highly flammable volatile organic solvents or solutions thereof.

I'll definitely keep experimenting with this. Would love to hear about anyone's experiences working with wood stains either for embroidery or otherwise.
