SamaN Interior Water Based Wood Stain - Natural Stain for Furniture, Moldings, Wood Paneling, Cabinets (Walnut TEW-109-12, 12 oz)

WOW! GORGEOUS! RIDICULOUSLY EASY TO USE! FABULOUS!In case you haven't noticed, I am in love with this product!Yes, it seems a bit pricey at first, but it is worth it!The color is exactly as described and then some! It is rich and saturated, which is exactly what I wanted!I am currently using it on a slab of well-sanded, dried cedar from the Pacific Northwest. I did not use anything for prep because I wanted to see how it would do - OH HAPPY DAY!Yes, I wore gloves, of course, and I used a small paintbrush and an old, clean dishrag to wipe it/buff it out.I did have to go back and touch up places I had missed on the first pass, using the same paintbrush and feathering it in so it wouldn't have obvious lines. It took me all of maybe 15 minutes (including hunting for the paintbrush and rag).I let it dry in the sun for an hour (yes, we really do have an occasional sunny day in early April here, just north of Seattle, don't tell anyone).I love this product so much that I just ordered the Azure and Raspberry! YAY!Here is a picture to help. I tossed in some mosaic pieces to help you see the color of the stain a bit better. There is no other finish/sealent on the wood at this moment but I will probably add a semi-gloss clear coat.Buy this, you will love it!

I bought the Cherry color. I absolutely love this color!! Exactly what I wanted. First I cleaned with Krud Kutter, no sanding. Then I used a foam brush to apply the stain to my cabinets. Let it dry overnight. By morning I noticed some areas that could use a second coat, so I applied that. It did make the color a little darker, but I still love it. It even went on well for the fake paneling on the sides. Posting a picture, top cabinets are the before, bottom are the after. I am still going to use a clear satin top coat for more durability. Not bad for 30+ year old golden oak cabinets! (Don't mind my clutter, we live here.) Bonus! It cleans up easy. I like that it is virtually odor free and soap and water clean up. It's hard to find a water based stain, so this was awesome to find. I would definitely recommend this! Will try to update after I finish.

I ordered the black, wow! It’s easy to work with, dries evenly, you can see the grain, which is exactly what I wanted, but wanted it opaque, and unlike paint, it is absorbed by the wood and doesn’t sit on the surface. Absolutely gorgeous.

Wow! This stuff really stains. Unfortunately, in my opinion, it's too dark and red. I am including pictures of cherry wood with and without the stain.

Excellent was easy to apply and color was exactly as described

Good product.

I got this in lime green and forest green thinking it would be you know, be lime green and forest green. If I went into a forest this color forest green, I'd want to have all my blade oils and potions at the ready because forests that are this black of a green always have monsters. The lime green is a nice, summer leaves green.This is the most opaque stain I've ever used. It's thick. It goes on like paint, and it looks like paint when it's dry.It is easy to clean up, and dries fairly quickly with little odor. Still, if I had wanted black paint, I would have ordered that.

Simple to use and easy to clean up. Beautiful colors!
