I bought poplar ready to assemble cabinets, on a very tight budget, I'm trying to attempt a natural hickory color, like the Denver cabinets at Lowes. I can not find a stain that looks like it will turn out close to the look I have envisioned, I have a clear that is somewhat similar and I also have the wood conditioner already. Do you have any idea's how to accomplish this? As I do not want to attempt anything and have it not be some what similar and it be a waste. Thank you

Thank you, Skyler. Poplar can be very useful and apparently need not just be for unseen parts. Question: Is it necessary after prestain to tint it before final staining? Edit: I read below about the value of using a red dye to mask the green of the poplar. That makes sense. I suppose it wouldn't matter on other wood species.
@woodworkingwithSkyler
@woodworkingwithSkyler Год назад
Not at all. But I like to do it with a different color than stain for added dimension.

Looks good Skylar. It is hard to get a good finish on poplar and your process did a good job. Poplar is nice to work with, I get it locally at a fair price. I’ve use water base dye on it but never did the top coat stain over it. Was that a water base stain or oil base?

The color on the board looks nice. I'm curious to know if after you raised the grain, did you sand again with the random orbit sander or did you sand by hand with the grain only. If you used the sander, did you get swirl marks from the sander in the wood. I always seem to get swirl marks unless my final sanding is by hand with the grain. Also, I have never heard of dying the wood and then staining over it. I will have to try that. Thanks!

Nice tutorial! Thank you. Try mixing some oxalic acid in water and apply it to the poplar and let it dry, it will turn the green wood into a nice soft brown at which point you can finish it naturally with oils and or wax, or stain it however you want. I once built an interior stair rail and pickets for an old-time disabled Carpenter out of Poplar, I thought he was crazy, but once I applied the acid wash it turned very nice, we left it natural and waxed it, it was a beautiful light butternut and soft brown color that was quite stunning!
@woodworkingwithSkyler
@woodworkingwithSkyler Год назад
:) thank you. Yes, video was on my to do list. I used oxalic acid to remove water damage spots ( the black ones). I know it removes the green in poplar but haven’t tried it yet as I don’t know the correct water to acid ratio. To remove stain I just mixed about two tablespoons in about 8 ounces water
@woodworkingwithSkyler
@woodworkingwithSkyler Год назад

@samTollefson
@samTollefson Год назад
@@woodworkingwithSkyler I don't recall the ratio but yours sounds close. You can just watch it and stop the process by rinsing it with water when it gets near what you like, you can always add more later for more effect, it's not a one-time shot. I hope this is useful. Best of luck to you!

Also, I love poplar as it is such a strong and stable wood, it is largely used as paint-grade custom trim wood here and is often overlooked for stained or natural finishes because of its lacking of grain character and green hardwood core. Once you overcome this issue, it can be a beautiful feature wood at about 1/2 or less the cost of other hardwoods, at least in my area.

What would be the result if you only apply the stain without the prestain and the dye...? Is that way of stainning is only for poplar? Thank you very much for all your intersting video!
@woodworkingwithSkyler
@woodworkingwithSkyler Год назад
If you don’t use pre stain, your color it will end up uneven. If you don’t use dye, it’s ok but the color would be more reddish brown with some green tint. Also it will look more dull. When you layer two different colors you end up with more depth. This is not just for poplar. This works on most woods. I chose red tones because red tones cancel the green.

Hi Pete! I bought this dye as a recommendation from an other RU-vidr to use it on walnut. Since I had it, I decided to try it on many other woods with different stains. Poplar has green in it and as a photographer I knew red cancel the green tone. So adding warm tone will made the green less visible. Just the stain alone looks a little flat so adding a dye gives it dimension , depth.

Skyler , how and why did you choose amber as your base color ? Did you experiment with other base coat colors first ? I often work with Poplar and is very helpful. This is further proof that you are more than just eye candy.
@woodworkingwithSkyler
@woodworkingwithSkyler Год назад
:) Thank you. Red warm tones will cancel the green in poplar. Initially I bought amber to use on walnut under oil based top coat ( recommended by a RU-vid channel) to give walnut a warmer tone. I tried it and didn’t like the results. Then I tried to stain different wood with just stain and I didn’t like that either as most had an ugly brown with green undertone color. So I started exploring the amber and more reddish dyes under stain and every time the color was better then just stain alone.
@woodworkingwithSkyler
@woodworkingwithSkyler Год назад
I also got better results from not leaving the stain on too long and building multiple coats for darker colors. Most people leave the stain for too long in order to achieve darker tones and they get spots where the finish dry quicker and that will produce uneven finish
