Building Expensive Coffee Table on a Budget

What happens here

The presenter applies a 'Weathered Oak' stain to both tabletops using a rag, covering the entire surface. After this first layer dries, a 'Pickled Oak' stain is applied over it, providing a subtle whitewashed effect. The goal is to mimic the look of oak wood with a lighter finish. After letting the two previous stains dry overnight, the presenter notes the color is still too light and applies a final coat of 'Fruitwood' stain to add more brown tones and warmth to the table surfaces.

Goal: Two different wood stains, 'Weathered Oak' and 'Pickled Oak', are applied in layers to the tabletops to achieve a light, multi-toned effect similar to the original table, with a final application of 'Fruitwood' stain for added warmth.

[Applause] [Music] all right so stain wise the the original table has hints of uh tan or a little bit of light brown and some white washing not specifically white washing done before but subtle kind of tones of it so what i came up with we're gonna use a little bit of this a weathered oak and a little bit of this uh pickled oak one has a little more white tendencies one has grayish brownish so we're gonna first lay down the tanner one the weathered oak let it dry lightly lightly sand it and then give the white pickled oak on there and hopefully both will take and go from there i'm not guaranteeing we're going to match this 100 but we're going to do our [Music] best [Music] all right so we're gonna let this dry i put a liberal amount there because i want everything to soak in i'm gonna let it dry overnight and i'll see you guys in the morning for assembling let's go
