Your 5:14 video is titled "Staining pine wood shelves" but 4:00 is taken up in actually making the shelf. Then there is no explanation of your techniques or products you are using. Not a very helpful video on staining pine. Sorry but that's my thoughts.
@@thelifeofisaac it's also not titled, "how to make a shelf with a lot of really expensive woodworking equipment." This is clickbait to see this guy show off and try to get business for this company... This is one of the first videos that come up when you search how to stain wood, btw. He actually says in the beginning I'll going to go through the process we use when we stain... rub it on? He doesn't even show removing the excess...
This leaves a lot to guessing. Do you stain both sides of wood at once? Or one side at a time? I'd assume one side at a time since I didn't see any finishing pyramids. How long did the stain sit before you wiped it off? One or two coats of stain? What do you mean by "oil" the wood? I'm a total amateur and want to know every detail so I can improve my art. Thanks!
@@CardinalCreekWoodcrafts Theres American walnut... Special walnut Dark walnut Ect. Which walnut stain? Because I was also interested in what stain you used because Im wanting to stain my shelves and loved the color that you used on yours ...but you didnt mention it or show it in the video...you only showed the pre stain conditioner
I've done something similar but without the pre-stain. I'm going to try that next thanks. In my previous project my wood ends up feeling a little furry (maybe I didn't sand enough I sanded by hand and with only one grit), and they collect dust like crazy. Is there something else I can use over a stain to help make it super smooth and easier to dust?
If you spray stain on softwoods that are hard to stain it doesn't Penetrate the pores as much and soak in like wipe on. Leaves a more uniform finish. Don't forget to wipe though.
We use a furniture finish mixture that we make. It isn't super glossy but very nice to use. It's one part polyurethane, one part mineral spirits, one part linseed oil.
I have a question how long should you wait for the stain to dry before you assemble the shelve? And also did you put on some kind of finish over the stain later? It looked shiny I’m trying to work on my shelves and really would like to know how to complete the projects. Thank you
Sure! The stain needs a day to soak up and dry. Then we put a couple of good coats of polyurethane on them, waiting a day in between coats for it to dry. You can hang the shelves after 24 hours put probably best to wait about 3 days to set anything on them. The easiest Poly to use is the wipe-on type. It's nearly impossible to screw it up. Just use a clean cloth and rub the poly in. I think we used a satin finish on these. Also, we usually finish up the poly with a quick coat of paste wax just to give them a silky feel/look. Thanks for the comment!
It still doesn’t look great. I’ve been trying to figure out the best way to stain pine and I’m still not happy with it. Conditioner helps, but you still lose the natural grain pattern
There really isn't a perfect way to stain pine......just better ways. If you use a dye it is a bit more uniform but you lose some of the grain if quarter sawn lumber is used.

4 minuter into a 5 minute staining video..... no staining hummmm. Needs a new title maybe
What size wood did you use and what stain?
2x10 pine and dark walnut stain. The pre stain conditioner link is in our description. Thanks!!!
Looks great! Love the natural look.

What color stain did you use? I have a pine piece that I am trying to stain and I can't get it to hold a dark stain. I used Miniwax Special Walnut.
It was a walnut color stain. Thanks!!
@@CardinalCreekWoodcrafts
Theres American walnut...
Special walnut
Dark walnut
Ect.
Which walnut stain?
Because I was also interested in what stain you used because Im wanting to stain my shelves and loved the color that you used on yours ...but you didnt mention it or show it in the video...you only showed the pre stain conditioner
Yep same here

Use a polyurethane coat. Let dry. Sand very lightly with a high grit. Then clean and coat again. Thanks!!
Is this a yellow or white pine?
Yellow Pine
Beautiful but what color did you use?
Thanks!! It was a walnut color stain.
@@CardinalCreekWoodcrafts just walnut or dark walnut?
Beatifull
Thanks!
I'm curious where you got the brackets that are holding up the shelf? I love them
Thanks. We bought them from Amazon. I added a link in the description if you wanna check them out (top link).
Thank you!!!
Does staining pine like this contribute to its hardness or should a hardening agent be considered?
Unfortunately it won't help to harden but you can add some sort of finished that will marginally help (like polyurethane).
Thanks for the interesting video, which music piece is it what you hear during the video, I love it 😊
Thanks!
Thanks for the Thanks but I still don't know which music it is.
Hi Karl, not sure if you’re still looking for the music but it’s called Tupelo Train by Chris Haugen

Which tool did you use to make those curved edges on the wood
That design looks really nice
A roundover bit on a handheld edge router.
Very vague answers about stain color. You continue to say walnut. There are different walnut stains.
Hi thanks for giving me an idea. After staining, can i paint it with a polyurethanes to a glossy look or apply some resin epoxy (to harden the wood)?
Polyurethane tends to yellow. I would go with polycrylic

Cardinal Creek Woodcrafts thank you!!! That os very helpful!
Couple of days because we added polyurethane over the stain.
Awesome Video! What color stain did you use?
It was a walnut color. Thanks!!
No top coat?
We used a rub on furniture finish that we make ourselves. It's one part polyurethane, one part mineral spirits, and one part linseed oil.
What's the name of the wood stain?
It was a Dark Walnut stain. I think it was MinWax
Good stuff, but I didnt come here for all of this. Please change the name of this video.
