Stained potting bench
I built a potting bench this summer from supplies and directions given to me for Christmas last year. I wanted to protect the wood from weathering and rot, so I bought some stain and sealer and got it on before the cold, wet weather set in. I have been very interested in the stains with color pigments in them, so I decided to try it out on this project.

I really like the green pigment in this semi-transparent stain. It allows the wood grains to show through, but the wood is protected and – it’s green! What do you think?

Very nice !
Lovely color for the garden! Happy gardening
and have a Merry Christmas.Thanh you for the
great pictures
I see a lot of yellowish looking colors within your green. It’s cool but it’s not the look I’m going for
I’m staining a guitar with green right now. I’m hoping I can get all the natural wood color gone. I think it just takes a lot of coats. Any thoughts?
Can you tell me what colour you used?
