How to color wood
Once you are sure of your stain, you need to sand the furniture very well. This is important in order to apply the stain well. Apply the stain and wipe off the excess stain with a rag. Check the color for evenness. Usually, you can even out the color by going through it again and wiping again. However, don't wait too long. Apply additional layers until you get the depth of shade you want. As you do this, keep in mind that your topcoat will slightly darken the appearance of the stain. Once dry, apply a top coat - any sealer you like and let it dry. The first layer acts like a filler. So prepare to apply at least one more layer. Sand lightly between coats with 180 fine-grain sandpaper. Sanding removes dust, air bubbles, or raised wood grain. Add a second layer and repeat the process until the top layer is what you want. Voila!
