If i'm going to stain a redoak boardbow,
stain first,then can i use tru oil,or will the tru oil change the stain?I want it a dark color. Ernie
If you use an oil stain give it a few days yo dry before adding the Tru-Oil.
Tru oil or any sealer will darken any color stain up a shade or two usually. If you want dark colors's stick with the walnut hues. Dark and Special walnut are nice.
Weird, I just stained my red oak bow with Special Walnut this morning. I think it looks great. Good luck!
Thanks all,
Pac'em,sure would like to see a pic of your
bow,after you stained it.
