    Size: 12 ozColor: CognacVerified Purchase
    I bought this stain in Cognac for a nightstand that I'm building to match an existing dresser with an Acacia type of wood finish. While this stain is a little more warm/red than I expected, it still looks very rich and accomplished my goal of making cheap plywood and lumber look much more high end. The first photo shows the stain on a maple plank, and the second shows the stain on plywood with a roll of birch veneer nearby for color comparison. It was very easy applying this with a foam brush, and there wasn't much excess to wipe off but a light swipe with a clean towel gave it a streak-free finish. While one coat would have been fine on its own, a second coat gave this a richer and more consistent color. I also like the fact that the stain is in a tall bottle rather than a can, which made it easier to pour into another vessel to dip my brush into.

    Size: 12 ozColor: Antique WalnutVerified Purchase
    Color - Antique Walnut. Excellent stain - easy to work with. The box I am staining is made of scrap wood with an uneven pattern. In some areas the wood is much darker and has a red hue. I suspect parts of it might be made of entirely different kind of wood. So I was concerned it would come out "striped & spotted". Used Minwax pre-stain to minimize the blotching effect and surely it helped a lot. But it also accentuated the unevenness in wood which was alarming. It wasn't just the color, I could see the difference in wood pattern and density as well. And all of it showed up conspicuously after the 1st coat of stain. To even it up on the second round I stained only lighter parts with a small brush, went around a few times and then let it sit overnight. The next day did the whole procedure again - stained the whole box, then touched up lighter parts. And it came out beautiful.
    I was lucky to pick up a lighter shade of Walnut (antique). It allowed me to put quite a few coats on without going too dark. Antique walnut color is absolutely gorgeous; it has a lot of natural gold tones in it. And I was able to build up a darker shade by applying more stain. Love the results.
    Cleaning the working table with a wet paper towel was a breeze, there is no odor, no fumes, and it dries rather quickly if you wipe the stained object with a dry cloth. Definitely recommend this product.

    Great, rich color (perhaps a little darker than I expected) in one coat and no drips. Dries quickly but still has plenty of workable time to wipe excess. Can't speak to whether it raises the grain very much as the wood didn't have the strongest grain. Cleanup is a breeze compared to some other big name store water-based brands, and it has only a very slight alcohol scent that dissipates quickly. It did bleed a little into the poly I was using and slightly dyed it as it applied it, but it may have been an issue with the poly or the wood, and the end result is still fantastic. I just wish it was a little cheaper. (One picture is without poly and the other with.)

    I bought a rustic wooden ceiling fixture from another online retailer and was disappointed that the color did not match the photos. Instead of returning it, I decided to try my hand at staining it myself. I chose this stain because it was water based and there was such a huge variety of colors. It was so quick and easy to use (and actually no sanding required, despite the info in the description online). The Prune color was perfect. So happy with the result and can't wait to get my new light installed!

If I went into a forest this color forest green, I'd want to have all my blade oils and potions at the ready because forests that are this black of a green always have monsters. The lime green is a nice, summer leaves green.

    This is the most opaque stain I've ever used. It's thick. It goes on like paint, and it looks like paint when it's dry.

    I stained my ikea/ivar pine bookshelves black, to make them a bit less basic. I have zero experience with this kind of thing, and I'm very happy with the results. The stain has zero smell, cleans up (from non-porous surfaces) with soap/water if you get to it quick enough, goes on evenly, and dries quickly. I applied by pouring a bit out into a small dish, and painting it on with a sponge brush, in long strokes along the grain, kindof a mix of painting and rubbing it in to the wood.

    The Picture is the regular WALNUT colour.

    I discovered this water-based odour free wood stain a few years back when I built a bed frame from scratch. It is absolutely amazing, especially for those living in apartments without a workshop. Other oil based stains stink immensely. Even days after curing. Saman is an absolute breeze. No smell, easy clean up with some warm water. Very forgiving when applying. Perfect for beginners. If you make a mistake with a drip or an overlap, just reapply and rub it in vigorously... it blends in so well.
    I have used it with a primer and without. As long as the product is sanded properly, save your time and don;t apply a primer, just a finish. I also used the satin finish (clear water based) by Saman.
    The only reason this is not 5 stars is because the products arrived leaking (not the fault of the seller). I ended up buying the Walnut elsewhere as I needed it before the next order could arrive.

    Additionally, the colours are very difficult to figure out base don pictures. I strongly recommend viewing the videos on the Saman Youtube channels, and pictures provided by customers.

    Here is some help with colour:
    Dark walnut is VERY dark, 2 coats is almost chocolate/espresso/black (like the Ikea dark brown)
    Walnut (regular) is like the picture above: 1 coat. 2 coats is much darker, but you see an auburn undertone
    Antique walnut: drastically lighter than the above, more of a neutral brown and to get it to a true brown you need like 4 coats
    Rosewood: don't let the pics mislead you, it is super red undertones, closer to burgundy.

    Hope this helps someone out there.

    I discovered this water-based odour free wood stain a few years back when I built a bed frame from scratch. It is absolutely amazing, especially for those living in apartments without a workshop. Other oil based stains stink immensely. Even days after curing. Saman is an absolute breeze. No smell, easy clean up with some warm water. Very forgiving when applying. Perfect for beginners. If you make a mistake with a drip or an overlap, just reapply and rub it in vigorously... it blends in so well.
    I have used it with a primer and without. As long as the product is sanded properly, save your time and don;t apply a primer, just a finish. I also used the satin finish (clear water based) by Saman.
    The only reason this is not 5 stars is because the products arrived leaking (not the fault of the seller). I ended up buying the Walnut elsewhere as I needed it before the next order could arrive.

    Additionally, the colours are very difficult to figure out base don pictures. I strongly recommend viewing the videos on the Saman Youtube channels, and pictures provided by customers.

    Here is some help with colour:
    Dark walnut is VERY dark, 2 coats is almost chocolate/espresso/black (like the Ikea dark brown)
    Walnut (regular) is like the picture above: 1 coat. 2 coats is much darker, but you see an auburn undertone
    Antique walnut: drastically lighter than the above, more of a neutral brown and to get it to a true brown you need like 4 coats
    Rosewood: don't let the pics mislead you, it is super red undertones, closer to burgundy.

    Hope this helps someone out there.

    I’ve been buying this stain in smaller quantities at hardware stores for years. Had no idea I could get a bottle this size for such an excellent price —- way cheaper than buying the other bottles. It is the only stain I will use for my wood products. Coverage is great and it is super easy to apply and clean up. Smell is minimal as well.

    Love the colour, easy to use and we have stained 2 shelves already and it’s about half gone, so we have plenty left for more projects. Down side is on Amazon it’s more than in store, BUT in store had less selection. So for the ability to get the colours I want would buy here again!
