How To Stain A Table The Easy Way


Posted April 28, 2021 by westfarthingwoodworks

In reality, staining the table is not much different than staining any other woodworking project. The only real difference is that it’s much larger in many cases than other things you may have worked on within the past.
 
However, don’t let the size fool you. A table is made up of separate parts, like every other woodworking project. For that reason, you can dissect the table into sections, and it will make it far easier to stain.
You can do the exact same thing for all the preparation, and for applying a nice clear coat like lacquer in the end to protect it. The size of the Woodworking project is really the only intimidating part, and I’ve just taken all of that away.
Coming up, I’ll show you what you need to do to prepare your surface, and get your entire table ready for staining. I’ll also show you a way to apply stain that gets the job done really well without leaving any blotchy areas.
Steps to Surface Prep:
Fill any defects on the table top with a good quality wood filler. Allow the product to fully dry.
Sand the table with progressively finer grit until you reach 320.
Wipe down the table with a damp cloth to collect all the sawdust, or blow it off with an airline.
Examine the surface carefully, and mark any scratches that still need to be removed.
Go back with fine sandpaper, and take out all of those scratches that you identify.
Wipe down the table again, and examine it a second time.
Take out any new scratches that you find, and repeat this process of Wood Finishing until you no longer find any scratches.
