- Using the same method, apply the sealer across the entire surface area of the wood

This sets the surface ready for the stain to be applied. The application of stain on the surface of the wood is very similar to that of how the sealer is applied. Will very soon post the stain application procedure. Meanwhile, do leave us a feedback in the comments section. If you think, staining can be done in a different and easier way, feel free to leave me a comment.
the tips are very practical.

Hi Somu, thanks for the informative tutorials. I do have a question though....I've seen many professionals use something called 'chalk mitti' which to the best of my understanding is chalk powder to seal wooden surfaces for furniture projects. Any idea what this is?
