I want to do a faded denim looking stain for my next build. Goal is to have a very weathered looking satin finish.
I want to do a blue stain with white/silver contrast for the grain. I saw a video on the ole youtube that did something similar on a cabinet. In the video their steps were
1. Stain the wood (jet black in this example, I would use dark blue)
2. Seal the wood
3. Apply a white gel stain and quickly wipe off.
Would this process work? I've seen many threads that say the first (and most important) step is a few rounds of grain filling and sanding.
Question: Does filling the grain mean you cannot stain it with a contrasting color?
