Oak stair finishing question?
Hi All, I haven't posted much here because I'm spending all my time working on my oak stair project. I have it all installed and wanted advise on staining oak. I'm trying to match an existing dark stained oak floor.
Any suggestions on how to proceed with oak, sealing, etc before staining? I've never stained oak before and wondered if any special procedures apply for it. Thanks Alan
Pics to follow soon.
Todd, thanks for the info.
Thanks for that very thorough description of the process. I'll get some pics when I finish. I do want to use a filler but what color do you use for a dark finish? I've heard you're better to err on the dark side with the filler compared with the final finish. I appreciate your help as I want this to turn out really nice. Alan
