What happens here

Apply the white pickling wash wood stain to the entire chair. The creator suggests applying it generously with a foam brush or roller, treating it more like paint rather than a traditional wipe-on/wipe-off stain, especially for Douglas fir, which has a reddish pigment. This method allows the wood to absorb the stain evenly without wiping, ensuring consistent coverage and color. The water-based stain prevents the wood from yellowing. After the stain dries, apply an exterior-grade polyurethane clear coat. This clear coat provides UV protection, mold/mildew resistance, and helps the furniture withstand outdoor elements, extending its lifespan. The creator uses a roller to apply the clear coat for even coverage. Two coats of stain and clear coat are recommended for optimal results.

Goal: Protect and enhance the chair's appearance for outdoor use

What they say

product. And I absolutely love how it turned out. My Zin's in the way. Love how it turned out. It looks phenomenal. Now, we're going to throw the clear coat on it. The urethane exterior stuff. It's going to be mold protecting. It's going to be mildew protective. It's going to have UV protection to make sure that this sucker lasts longer than the what was it? $3,000 Pottery Barn option. Going to roll it on. Nice uh foam brush. I guess this is whatever it says cabinets. Do that. And uh go have fun with it. And what's great about this stain is that there's going to be just a subtle hint of yellowing just cuz this is an oilbased material. Uh, which is going to even it out at the end to give it those warm colors that we're looking for without the yellow effect. Party on. [Music] [Applause] [Music] Birthday [Music] love. [Music] >> I got all of the clear coat on. I got to really quickly bust out three more of these chairs. it it I could bust out three of them easily in one day. Uh get the clear coat on. I'll set them all up, show you guys the real reveal, the big reveal. Here's the cool thing about this design if you choose to build it with those PDF plans is I made them specifically that on Amazon, if you wanted to order these cushions, which are 42 bucks for the back and the bottom together, you can put these in and it'll fit. This is made for exactly the bottom piece and so is that. So, that's the cool, beautiful part about this design is Pottery Barn is not going to offer you any kind of cushions, but we are. So, that's going to be awesome. Let me get to work. Bust out the remainder of the three, get them all stained, get them all clear coated, set them all up, and start maybe roasting a nice fire. Let's get to work. [Music] Love you and love you. [Music] >> How incredible is this looking? The grand total to build all four of these shares was $124 compared to the 3000s that's out there.
