I used two coats of Sikens dark oak stain and two coats of their clear tinted UV protectant clear coat. Every coat stain or clear is sanded in between. All the boards FOR "THEIR FIRST SANDING ONLY" were sanded with the grain with an electric sander with 150 grit. Air blow sanding residue off and stain. For every other coat we scuffed the boards with 4 zero Bull Wool.

esll.
