Factors to Consider When Choosing a Woodstain Colour

Before choosing a woodstain colour, it’s important to consider the type of wood, its grain, and any existing colour and finish. The intended use of the wood, such as interior or exterior, should also be considered. Personal preferences, such as the desired level of transparency or opacity, can also play a role in the decision-making process.
