Perfect Color to Match Black Walnut Wood!
I am thrilled I found this stain and color! I needed to stain 2 shelves going into a black walnut china hutch. This color was the perfect match! I was out of pre-stain conditioner but it turns out I didn't need it with Zar. I applied using an oil brush and let it sit for about 10 minutes before I wiped off any excess with a foam brush. I let it dry for a few hours before I applied a second coat of Vintage Modern with a little Aged Bourbon for depth. The result was streak free with no blotching. It's affordable, easy to use, and creates the perfect finish without the typical overpowering fumes. I refinish furniture for a living and Zar's stain is my go-to choice!
Thank you for your fantastic review! We’re so glad to hear that you found the perfect color match for your shelves and that ZAR made the process so easy. It sounds like you achieved a beautiful, streak-free finish with the perfect depth and no blotching – that’s amazing and exactly how ZAR was formulated! Your photos are awesome and really highlight the gorgeous results you achieved. We’re also thrilled that ZAR has become your go-to choice for refinishing furniture. We truly appreciate your feedback and look forward to being part of many more of your stunning projects!
Premium Oil-Based Stain
I've been using the mocha color to build and refurbish wood products around our home to match our floors and favorite antiques- this stuff is great! Thicker than most stains, so I love that it doesn't fling drops everywhere when covering less-porous surfaces; I just have to wipe a few times until I get the right look. I usually pour it into a splash of mineral spirits for raw woods and that applies quickly and easily. Prefer old white t-shirts or rags to paper towels or shop towels if you're new to staining.
Thank you for your detailed and thoughtful review! We're so glad to hear that the mocha color has worked perfectly for your wood projects, helping you match your floors and antiques beautifully. It’s great to know that you appreciate the thicker consistency, making it easier to control and avoid messes. Your tip about using mineral spirits for raw woods and old t-shirts for staining is really helpful and will surely benefit others new to the process. We truly appreciate your feedback and are excited that our product is helping bring your projects to life!
beautiful stain!
I've used the oil based stain in a couple shades now and I absolutely love them! They go on beautifully. I have applied the stain with both a sponge brush and an old tshirt, both methods work great. highly recommend these stains!
Wow, looks great! Thank you for the recommendation and taking time to post the great photo.
