Tried & TrueGolden Oak Stain & Finish, Quart - Linseed Oil Wood Stain, Perfect for Home Improvement, Furniture, & Kitchen Light Wood Projects, Natural Wood Stain & Oil Finish, Pigmented Danish Oil

We had new windows installed in our 60 year old home which meant new wood, but I wanted the interior casings to match our hardwood floors that are throughout the house. This worked perfectly! Smells decent and is easy to apply.

We used this cherry stain on several items: our floor crib, a wooden wall hanger for mobiles, and an unfinished wooden teether toy/rattle. We put 3 coats on everything, the instructions on the Tried & True website were very easy to follow and as recommended we used cotton rags to apply it, which I ordered on Amazon along with the stain. A little goes a long way, we still have half a pint left. We did all of this in the baby’s room, since there are no fumes or VOCs from this product and it’s easy to clean up any excess that drips. No need for gloves either since linseed oil is very safe, and there are no chemicals in this. Be sure to follow the instructions and wipe vigorously with a clean rag between coats, and you shouldn’t have any issues. It took my hubby and I an hour and a half to do the crib. The little toy and the mobile hanger only took maybe 20 minutes. It was very easy, we left them alone to cure for a couple of days, and there is no tackiness. We love how they turned out with the cherry stain! :) We have some floating bookshelves that need to be sanded before staining, so after hubby sands those down we’ll be staining those with this as well so everything will match in our baby’s nursery.

I was skeptical if this stain would work. However, my blond butcherblock did not look good with my walnut countertops. It stained beautifully. I highly recommend it! It looks perfect.

I would have preferred a golden oak color with more brown and less orange. Product has no bad odors.

Goes on easy and smooth. Nice subtle earthy scent. Rich color. Most important, it's eco-friendly. Well worth the money. I would purchase again.

I really enjoyed using this wood stain. All the other stains that I've used before tend to put too much color on the wood way too fast and it's far too hard to control the actual amount of color that reaches the wood. This is far more subtle and you can control how deep the color is by the number of layers you put on. Also, the pigment is very rich and subtle, much more like natural wood (so you don't feel as though you're "painting" the wood.) Beautiful product, highly recommended, particularly for the Golden Oak, which I used.

I NEEDED a no VOC product to use inside in the winter for a few tables, I watched the youtube videos on the application, and yes, I used a tiny amount applied with cheesecloth (where you are thinking this can't be enough), I wiped with the excess off after five minutes, and here I am 3 weeks later on ONE table. I have applied two coats. I used the steel wool in between coats, followed by a tack cloth. This is STILL a sticky mess. I let it sit for a week to cure each time. I am furious with this product and the results.We chose Java, and from the review pictures, I am baffled by their results. I am curious to know how those results occurred. They have coated the products, and those will never dry? Today, I used cheesecloth and applied a little mineral spirits (after googling what to do ) to get the sticky off. It is still sticky!!!! If I could go back, I would buy poison, wait for the weather to be decent & stain outside, and wear a mask - knowing it would DRY - this was a waste of money and time.

Great coverage in one coat. Applies easily. Got this because I stained some animal cage frames and I wanted to use a non toxic stain. This cost $45.00 for a quart. Seems a little much to me but it sure goes a very long way. Yes, I will buy it again.

No surprises read instructions carefully. Colour was Good application easy
