What stain did you use? Where did you get it?

 

[m4rk0]

Yes,
I used Woodburst (woodburst.com)
and minwax

 

[jackthehack]

A lot of us have, Minwax oil based stains work fine and are available everywhere. Marko mentioned the Woodburst.com stains and there are some additional brands available from Woodcraft, you can order from their site or check to see if there's a store near you at woodcraft.com

jackthehack you made a comment on another thread about the spray cans, sunburst, man you are so right. Never will do that again.

Other question you have to sand seal first before staining?

 

[Tonar8352]

Do not seal before staining.  That is used in a different process on open grained wood.
