I'm trying to stain some cherry wood and just seem to get blochy results.
I'm using a gel stain which is doing much better than the thin stuff. I'm
putting it on evenly and wiping off the excess. Is it in the wood or the
stain or the application method? Any help would be appricated.

Thanks

staining cherry is very hard. even with gel stain i've never been able
to get it non-blotchy.

that's why i use dye and toner coats.

works for me. there are people who know far more about finishing cherry
than i do. personally i don't like that dark red look - i'm a fan of
natural cherry with a hint of red-brown toner.
