A tip for anyone else coming here. Its much cheaper and simpler to use something like a gel stain, epoxy, or a glaze. You don't need to sand down to the wood, just scuff the surface with 220 grit and apply. (with polyshades might need a few coats to be even, esp with darker colors).
@@heavenbuilder2365 I was just talking about the sanding down to stain part. You still need finishing depending on what you choose to do. Epoxy with dye would be probably be the easiest most durable option but most expensive. Polyshades is polyurethane with stain / dye in it which gets mixed reviews but would be pretty easy, might require a few coats to get the color you want. You can also add dye or stains to some types of polyurethane instead of polyshades A gel stain or glaze though will need poly sprayed or wiped over it. Of course all the poly methods would look best with sanding between coats and a final high grit sand.
dude the "fuck up" looks so sweet. I hate "right ways" to do stuff. if it wasn't a sticky mess (i know its sticky from making this mistake), I would definitely keep my desk looking like that matte with splotches of shiny. looks so cool and unique.
no worries dude! i ended up following this tutorial actually and made my own husky table and did some splotchy mess on mine! @@MichaelTaylorProductions
well done! I'm a big fan of the darker walnut/espresso stain. It's definitely something I'm thinking about doing (planning to get the same desk/workbench for my setup) but at the same time, the finish is already nice the way it comes. Thanks for this vid! It's pretty helpful!
Dude thats AWESOME! let me know how it goes! The original finish is nice! If i was going with lighter wood and did't have dark wood floors, I probably would've stuck with the OG finish. I'm glad this video was helpful :)
Hey! Sorry I am just now seeing this! It could be. I had the exact same problem happen to me. You may have to sand the stain off and do another pass over of sanding. Good luck man 🫡

I'm looking to stain my Husky so I'm curious about this comment. How does applying a stain without sealing/finishing work?

Thanks dawg! working on a desk setup vid here soon 👊🏽👊🏽
Broo I'm working on this project and I can't get the wood to absorb the stain!
Is it because I haven't sanded down enough?
