Varathane Premium Fast Dry Wood Stain | 1 Hour Dry Time | 1 Coat Color | Interior Wood Stain | Furniture, Cabinets, Doors, Trim | Half Pint | Dark Walnut

Beautiful color! I bought the Black Cherry stain to try out a first time project and wasnt really sure how it would come out but... I am blown away with how gorgeous this came out. There is plenty left for future projects and it didn't take long to set into the grain either. The coverage was perfect; it took maybe four quick dips of stain to cover the table top and it went on smoothly. Very effective and exactly what I wanted.

great color, great stain. not sticky. easy to use. amazing coverage.

I've been using Varathane oil-based stains for many years now because it was readily available where I shop. I was pleased to know that I could have it delivered to my door. The product performs excellently. It is very easy to apply, dries at a decent rate, and yields an even color tone on my small projects. The uniformity from can to can is very close when comparing freshly stained pieces to older ones. However, results may vary depending on several factors such as, daylight/UV exposure and stirring frequency. I'd absolutely recommend Varathane oil-based stains.

Great for sealing outside wood. Good quality for the money. Very easy to apply but needs several coats.

Absolutely beautiful. Exactly what I wanted. As a woodworking beginner, I made a lot of mistakes but I did not make one when I bought Black cherry stain. I discovered if I used it on bare wood with nice grain, then wiped some of it off, it created beautiful red areas on the grain. I didn’t put theThe wood through the jointer as I wanted for a rustic look. Couldn’t be happier. Was able to clean up the mess using dawn and scrubber.

Great product. Beautiful color.

I provided photos of the test wood I used. I dipped a corner of a paper towel into the stain, and then applied it to the bottom right corner. Then, instead of wiping away the excess, I tried to spread it as far as it would go. The first photo, the lighter one, is pretty impressive coverage. Obviously, if I was actually staining something, I would apply more stain to the lighter areas. The other photo is the second coat, applied the same way. My conclusion is that a second coat really doesn't change anything it it's applied adequately the first time. I also think the stain looks exceptionally nice. I almost didn't buy this stain for two reasons. One was because it came in a can. I use it for hobby purposes, and one can will last a long time. Well, the stain will last a long time. I don't think the can will, and that's kind of a problem. The other reason is because it's oil based. I'm kind of clumsy, so I prefer using something that doesn't create a catastrophe if I accidentally spill it. I am, however, disappointed at the color. That's called "barn red". It seems more like a light cherry.

Great color and dries quick.
