Apply Wood Stain

What happens here

With the table fully assembled, the creator proceeds to the finishing stage. He applies Minwax Wood Finish (specifically 'Natural' color, semi-transparent oil-based wood stain) using a rag. The stain is wiped onto all surfaces of the ash table, allowing the natural grain of the wood to show through while imparting a warm, protective finish. This step completes the aesthetic transformation of the raw wood into a finished piece of furniture.

Goal: The finished console table is stained with a semi-transparent natural wood finish to enhance its appearance and protect the wood.
