I love this gray. Really makes the table look rich and elegant

This is amazing. The finished product as seen in the second video looks great!! I love that you can see some of the brown wood tones come thru the grey. This is exactly what I am looking for to stain my pantry door!

This is exactly what I want. A stain job where you can see the grain of the wood but it doesn't look streaky or weathered. Nice job! 💛

You should add some product links. I think it turned out great. I keep coming back to it.

I like your vids. You are real and have your own way of doing things. Not following directions necessarily is what life should be about. Keep doing what you're doing.

More videos! I want to see you refinish cabinets or a piece of furniture with dark java!

I want to see the finished product plz

Great video. After you put in the first coat, could you just leave it on and let it dry if you would want a full on grey painted look?

Nice job, ignore the ignorant comments. Thank you!!

Very elegant! You make gray look great.

Very nice! Thank you for sharing! 🌞 Many blessings!!

I love that color.

Looks good, was literally looking into the stain wood look. How long do you wait in between the layers?

I found what i was looking for!!! Thank you, great job!👍👍👍

Its Rubber wood if i am not mistaken from Malaysia.

I have only one question, how did you convince Darth Vader to be your cameraman? Lol. JK ! Nice job.

Love the gray stain

The only issue I see is that when wiping off the stain, you left A TON of streak marks and did not get it all off. the shops I worked out would kick my butt if I left that much streaking stain on. Don't be afraid to wipe harder - get all that stain off, don't leave streaks.

How did you get Darth Vader to be your cameraman, he ain't fooling nobody, we can hear him!

I just tried doing this with my HUGE table. The first stain didn’t come out right because I didn’t use a conditioner (rookie error) then I sanded it again and then see minwax semi transparent stain after the conditioner because I didn’t like the color of the other one. Dried and looked very splotchy. I used it like paint because I didn’t want to sand again, loved the color and then put polycrylic on it. 4 coats of the polycrylic and when I put something on the table it’s lefts a ton of scratch marks😭. I sanded it with steel wool at this point to get a duller look and sprayed some furniture polish of it. Shockingly it looks pretty good for now but I think I’ll be stripping it soon and starting from scratch. What stain are you using and what do you recommend for a top coat that won’t be a nightmare with scratches? Thank you 😊

Thank you for the video. I restored a nice oak art deco table, solid wood, no veneer. It has beel stripped and sanded to bear wood. The oak looks rather yellowish, so I was looking for a modern color finish. I think I will try this one. I just wonder if this stain is resilient enough for a table top. Should I add a coat of carnauba wax?

Love this technique. I used the java gel stain on a bathroom vanity about 8 years ago and it turned out great. Do you think that these products would work for refinishing an acacia wood table that I have outside on my patio? It's exposed to all the elements. I came across your channel in my search for the best products to use. Any suggestions you could give would be much appreciated!

Do you stain the bottoms of the table leaves?

Love your work thank you for sharing ❤️

What brand shop towels do you use ?

Love your process and step by step tutorial. Love your comments and results are awesome!

why wood conditioner on pine vs mineral spirite like oat? Is pine more pourous than oak?

how much did you thin out the gel stain?

I am planning to GF gel stain a kitchen table in gray similar to this with wood from Malaysa. I lightly sanded all the surfaces. Is this table sanded down closer to bare wood? Will I get the same results? I practiced on the base pieces last night and it seemed to wipe off close to where I started. Your feedback is appreciated.

Do shop towels leave fibres in the finish?

How much for my table?

Beautiful color. Thanks for sharing, you and your camera man lol

Can you please tell from where I can buy the same wood stain with same color?

Is it water based or oil based sir?

The finished table?????

What's the name of the gray gel stain?

I have some old knifes with wood handles I want to sand down and stain, what brand would you recommend? I'm looking for a dark stain? And how many coats?

How ur paints plz

I agree with your philosophy..I too am a veteran of many recipes.. I was doing research for how to do the grey and white that the millennials love so much when I found this.. Much of what you say is EXACTLY what I learned from bitter experiences.. You do seem kinda stuck on Java when instead good recipes can be found for all kinds of general finishes products..When combined with other products.. Just saying a man can never have too many good recipes for different finishes on different woods..

Hi! What brand and color is the stain you are using here?

When using Java on Pine does it cover the orange/yellow undertone that other stains leave?

Thanks for the demo. One thing though, Darth Vader breathing in the background while filming was not good.

Can we use GF Gel Stain over an existing paint color?... FYI: My existing paint color is lighter than the stain I plan on using (Java). Love this technique btw!!

Aren't you supposed to use water based conditioner with water based stain?

Awesome

Traducción al español , gracias

Thank you for using this video, i wanted to se hote does wood look in grey paint

awesome guys, thanks! :)

Its rubber wood from Malaysia

Aren't you suppose to wipe of the stain after 4-5 minutes? I didn't see you wipe off the excess stain so the detail of the wood can be seen.

I hear heavy breathing

What was the stain and the color an how do I get it

What lind of gray stain is that?

What brand gel stain?

When you say shop towels do you mean the blue shop towels?

But you can still see the knight color wood through the stain.

Do you use a fine sand paper after your 150?

Is the wipe off cloth damp?

Can’t see the grain from the wood.. might as well painted it with gray paint

cameraman fall asleep? hahaha

Why do you Pre- stain the table top?

Heavy breathing from the camera person 😂😂😂

The heavy breathing of the person filming is churning my stomach.

Gross gray, some people have no taste.
