What happens here

Wearing appropriate gloves, use a foam brush to generously apply a wood stain, such as Minwax Wood Finish in 'Fruitwood', across the entire tabletop surface. Work in small sections, applying the stain evenly with the brush. Immediately after application to a section, use a clean rag to wipe off any excess stain. This prevents blotchiness and allows the natural wood grain to show through, while ensuring the desired color is achieved. Repeat this process for all areas of the tabletop, making sure to wipe off excess before it dries completely. Allow the stain to dry according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually several hours.

Goal: Apply a coat of wood stain to the prepared tabletop, ensuring even coverage and then wiping off any excess to achieve the desired color and depth.
