Todd Burch has a separate thread going on some cherry bathroom cabinets he just finished. If you haven’t already done so, take a look because they are gorgeous!
One of the side issues discussed was brands of stain. Todd used a product from ML Campbell that obviously looks great and performs well to boot. I’ve been using Minwax stains up until now but have been less than totally satisfied. They don’t seem to do as well as I would like on many woods and take a long time to cure, particularly in humid Florida. I’ve also used some aniline dyes that seem to work well but have some disadvantages as well.
I was just wondering what brands of oil and water based stains the rest of you use. I thought this might be an opportunity to share our experiences and opinions.
