You are so very welcome, thought it would be useful since I was looking for a video like this before I made my desk.

Very nice, I wanted to see the difference between varathane and minwax red mahogany

Were is the picture? And awesome video. Very informative! New subsciber on that presentation

Thank you so much! I'm building a tabletop with rubber wood since it's what I got. Will these stains look around the same?

I'm no wood expert but I would say as long as the rubber wood you're using is a very light color, it will be very similar

Could you do a video highlighting the finished color of your desk?

Hi i have a question when you do 2 finish with the minwax poly then the arm and seal, do it matter if they are satin or gloss? will you have the same result if you choose different minwax poly?

@DavidBlodgett

the only result you'll see is the top layer. I did two coats minwax gloss and one coat arm r seal satin on my desk

Did you apply a pre-stain conditioner before staining the birch with the sundry stains? If you didn't, this could alter the final stain look for these stains.

I did apply a wood conditioner, yes.

Thank you for doing this video!! I was originally going to use provincial for staining my birch butcher block to use as a desktop, but after seeing this video, the final result is not what I was expecting, because most videos showing provincial are not staining on birch. Now I'm back to square one trying to decide which stain to use.

The other important thing that I am noticing is that the color on the box of the stain, is not the color on the wood. Originally, I had decided against honey because the color on the box was so dark. However, in your video, the honey is not dark at all but rather a pleasing light color.

I'm having trouble picking between the Varathane Honey and Varathane Red Mahogany. Any advice?

Do your own A-B test on spare piece of wood, always different seeing it in person in the room it will be in. Also, you can get a darker color by putting two coats.
