Thank you for your interest in our VegTrug Patio Garden. It is treated with a food-safe, water-based stain.

I have no idea what is in the oil, ... however, the wood looked good at the end of last summer, ... and it still looks good in the middle of a very harsh Minnesota sub-zero winter, .. and I am anticipating a good looking garden on my deck when the snow is gone.

We use oil base stain and it works fine. There is a good size hole on the tip.

This is only a finish, not a stain. Pick up a stain pencil to match at the box store for this problem

I am a novice furniture finisher. I stained a raw wood bookcase. This was my first piece and don't know how the stain would look on a piece previously stained. Sorry.

It's a clear liquid, a little oily. Squirt it on a damp cloth and polish furniture & wood. Then wipe again with a dry cloth. It makes the wood beautiful.

When in doubt, always go light. You may be sorry if you do anything any darker. The dark stains any grain too dark for light wood. (For me anyway.) I would suggest trying Howard's Restore-a-finish in Golden Oak. Won't change the color at all and gives a beautiful finish, but is a little more than just a spruce-up shine. This is wonderful stuff. Maybe your lumber company will have a sample. I bought mine through Amazon as I was already familiar with product. Good Luck.

Your choice lacquer, or poly. You could probally use tru oil but I have not tried that.

I use Royal Oak lump charcoal, works great. Walmart has it. I have only used the Cook Air a couple of times but I can tell you its great! Awesome! I would think one 2x3 chunk of real wood would be enough. Do a google and see the lump charcoal its the best. Its real wood that has been burnt down to charcoal. Works really good and you don't need a lot...Mark

The wood is pre-treated with a clear waterproofing. I think the instructions stated that it can be stained.

This is a great product to stop spliting and checking on log ends. I would use another product like an oil based transparent varnish or polyurethane. If you want the more rustic look from sawmill or chainsaw milling, maybe a deck stain with sealer be best.

I believe it was pine. I stained it to match other oak furniture and it turned out wonderful.

It's wood and I treated it as such WITH several coats of linseed oil. I love the knife.David Jones

I use Meguiar's Gold Teak Oil, available at Amazon. I apply about once a week or so. The oil soaks into the wood keeping the beautiful wood clean and protecting the color.

I would likely use Minwax or polyurethane, both in the paint dept. of Home Depot, or could get through Amazon. Polyurethane will give you a higher gloss finish.Why I used this >> was to stain kitchen and bath cabinets darker that were '80's oak'. I then used this topcoat over the base gel stain.

Interesting question .... I only used it to stain dectotive cedar wood. I worked fine and promoted the cedar oil smell.

I would play it safe and use a water based sanding sealer over the stain before applying this. That should act a s buffer or barrier between the two. Plus it will allow for a glass like finish. Since this product is an oil based finish, I don't know if the two are directly compatible. The whole water vs oil thing that is.
