The ultimate guide to getting pitch black wood without losing that beautiful grain! 🪵🖤

Here is a quick cheat sheet of the 4 methods:

1️⃣ Paint Wash: Cheap and customizable, but requires a topcoat. (Formula: 1 part black paint to 2 parts water!)

2️⃣ India Ink: The deepest, darkest

midnight black. It's water based, so remember to lightly sand the raised grain before sealing!

3️⃣ Minwax True Black: Easy to find at the hardware store. Don't skip the pre stain conditioner, and be prepared to do a few coats!

4️⃣ Rubio Monocoat: The premium option. Pricier upfront, but easy to apply and looks the most natural.

Which method are you trying on your next build? Let me know down below! 👇
