Minwax® Wood Finish-Walnut

We received a Walnut coffee tray for Christmas. It was perfect, made of good quality wood with handles and
it worked perfectly to keep all our condiments together. The tray wasn't
sealed it had a light color and a light layer of varnish on it. We wanted to last longer and sealed to protect the tray for many more year of service.
This post shows the eight steps on how to stain and seal the the
wood tray.
Step 1: Fig.1 shows the
Minwax® Wood Walnut Finish that will be used to stain and give the tray a light protective seal.
Step 2: Fig.2 shows the
Minwax® Wood Walnut Finish, paint can opener and a lacquer paint brush.

Step 4: Fig.4 and
fig.5 shows a
paint stick slowly stir the sealer, try your best not to get any bubbles. Air bubbles will ruin the finish and then the wood will need to be sanded.

Step 5: Fig.6 shows that during the job if you need to take a break place the wet brush into a glove or a plastic bag. Keeping the brush wet will make it easier to return and finish the the walnut seal.
