Yuck. That is my word for staining. It stinks, its messy, and it makes me feel terrible. On this particular job we used minwax, special walnut. It is a very nice, warm brown color.

the final color
For the top coat I am using a product called bioshield. http://www.bioshieldpaint.com/. It is a non-toxic finish made up Tung Oil, Linseed Oil and some other additives which makes it dry faster than just oil. It offers superior protection against water, and other liquids because it is a penetrating product that protects from the inside out. And best of all it does not smell bad or make you feel bad. This company also has stain and other great green products that I will loook into using for the future.
