Description
The Sutherland Welles Ltd.® Old World Concentrated Stains are the most versatile stains on the market.
Sutherland Welles Ltd.® stains can be mixed to form a variety of colors or successive layers of different stains help create an antiqued effect. When the stain is applied and allowed to cure on the surface it forms a protective layer in addition to providing color. Other leading brands offer only color as the stain is applied and must be wiped.
Another significant advantage of working with Sutherland Welles Ltd.® Concentrated Stains is that they can be mixed with one of our clear Sealers to adjust the level of saturation. Sometimes you need a hint of color and other times you need bold saturation, our stain line delivers you to that sweet spot easily.
Dark Oak is one of our brown stains we offer. It’s rich saturated brown that in keeping with all the other Oak stains tends toward the cooler tone of brown. Dark Oak is a rich brown that looks like a “Stickley” brown. It’s also a great antiquing color that is used as a second layer of stain to create depth and age to a piece, especially over Warm Pine and Light Oak as base stains.
