Wow, Jess! Such a beautiful makeover! I have used gel stain and it is definitely more forgiving and easy to work with. That deeper rich color is perfect for this piece. 😊👍🏻

Thanks so much, Beth!

I love how it turned out! I thought I liked the first time but you’re right…it needed a little something! I don’t do a lot of staining but I do like gel stain!

[@oakandgrainbyjess]

Thanks so much for watching! Yes, that’s exactly how I felt. Like something just wasn’t quite right. Gel stain was a saving grace!

[@ourhoustonsmithhome]

@@oakandgrainbyjess Absolutely!! 👏👏👏

I think it was a great decision to do the gel stain! Even though it looks like you wiped off more than actually stayed on, I think that it saved the piece! It gave a better balance to the look.

[@oakandgrainbyjess]

I 100% agree! It was the saving grace. Gel stain is cool like that - you can always wipe less off for a deeper color & it’s so buildable! Thanks for watching. 🤍

I saw this on Instagram and am obsessed! Do you know if gel stain will work over wood filler?

[@oakandgrainbyjess]

Thanks so much! In my experience, the wood filler will still show through subtly. But you can use mohawk fil-stiks & varathane correction markers to mask it
