I have used this brand to finish several different kinds of wood and really like it. There are lots of different "colors" to choose from.
When I had limited amount of stains left in a can, and what I had just did not come out looking right on my test wood.....I often mixed my stains to make it look a little different.
I like using just Tongue oil as a finish on something that will not be used all the time. Or something like Deft (sp) is a easy finish to apply.
