Package includes 1 × Birchwood Casey Walnut Wood Stain, 90 ml Brush, application cloth, grain filler, and protective topcoat are not included. Frequently Asked Questions Does the stain provide a protective layer for the wood? No. Walnut Wood Stain gives the wood its color, but does not replace a protective topcoat against moisture and wear. After the stain has dried, the wood should be covered with Birchwood Casey Tru-Oil or another suitable wood finish. Can the stain be diluted with water? Yes. This is a concentrate, and its color intensity can be adjusted by adding water. The manufacturer’s finishing guide suggests a 1 : 1 mix of stain and water as a general starting point for most jobs. When should undiluted stain be used? Undiluted stain gives a darker result and is suitable for light woods, such as birch, when a clear walnut brown tone is desired. The final result should be tested on a wood scrap or hidden area before treating the entire stock. Do multiple coats make the color darker? Yes. For a darker result, a stronger mixture can be used or an additional coat can be applied to the dried surface. The color should be checked after each step, as the final finish may visually deepen the color. What should I do if the color turns out too dark? The manufacturer recommends cleaning the surface with a sponge dampened with clear water if it becomes too dark. This is easiest to do before the stain has completely dried and before applying the protective topcoat. How long should the stain dry before applying Tru-Oil? According to Birchwood Casey's finishing guide, the stain should dry overnight before applying Tru-Oil. The surface must be completely dry and free of dust and loose fibers. Can the stain be applied over old lacquer or oil layers? For an even result, old finishes should be removed and the wood prepared. The stain must penetrate evenly into the wood fibers; old lacquer, wax, or oil layers may prevent absorption and cause a patchy result. Is Walnut Wood Stain suitable for small repair jobs? Yes. The manufacturer lists small color corrections as one of its uses. However, the exact tone of the existing finish may differ, so suitability should first be checked in a hidden area. Does the stain fill wood pores and scratches? No. The stain changes the color of the wood but does not fill pores, cracks, or deep scratches. If necessary, these should be treated with a suitable grain filler or repair product before the final finish. When is Birchwood Casey Walnut Wood Stain the right choice? This stain is suitable for tinting new or fully stripped wooden gun stocks when the goal is a traditional walnut brown appearance. The adjustable concentration makes it practical both for darkening light birch wood and for achieving a more moderate color tone. Rusty Walnut Wood Stain is a better choice if a warmer, more reddish-brown result is desired. If the existing stock color is suitable and only needs a protective finish, staining can be skipped and a suitable stock oil used directly. Expert recommendation Prepare the wood evenly and always sand in the direction of the grain. Remove old finish completely and protect sharp stock edges during sanding. Before staining the entire stock, test your chosen dilution on a wood scrap or small hidden area. As a general starting point, a 1 : 1 mix of stain and water can be used, but for a darker result on light birch wood, a stronger mixture may be suitable. Apply the stain with a clean lint-free cloth or brush and avoid puddles. Allow the surface to dry overnight, then use grain filler if necessary and apply Tru-Oil or another protective topcoat. Before working on the firearm, remove the magazine, visually and physically check the chamber, and keep ammunition away from the work area. For best results, treat the wooden stock after removing it from the firearm.
