Staining is a process where we dye the timber to a darker/different color. You will still be able to see the grain, but it will completely change the color and the look of the timber. There are many varieties in colors and shades depending on what stain we apply and what type of timber you have, the same color can look different on different timber. Even the same timber can have different color variations through out: where the grains of the timber are softer its soaks in more stain making the wood darker, where the grains are denser it soaks up less making it a bit lighter.
