Stain and Finish

Fill any exposed holes with stainable wood filler and allow to dry. Lightly sand project and vacuum off sanding residue. We stained our project with Rustoleum Early American followed by a clear top coat.

Finishing Instructions
Preparation Instructions
Fill all holes with wood filler and let dry. Apply additional coats of wood filler as needed. When wood filler is completely dry, sand the project in the direction of the wood grain with 120 grit sandpaper. Vacuum sanded project to remove sanding residue. Remove all sanding residue on work surfaces as well. Wipe project clean with damp cloth.

It is always recommended to apply a test coat on a hidden area or scrap piece to ensure color evenness and adhesion. Use primer or wood conditioner as needed.

I love that we don't have to search for a pallet that's in decent enough shape and risk sanding treated wood (and all of the potential hazards of using a pallet!). This is just... PERFECT!
