Island Water Finish

Posted by Joanna on 1 Comment

After posting a blog entry about discovering how to weave striped baskets, we received an inquiry about using different colors to accent custom baskets. After many emails and questions, the final result was using a new branch of the MinWax stain. We have always used MinWax’s oil-based finishes, but through this custom request we discovered the colorful water-based stain line. MinWax offers many rich and bright color options. Check out the finished product in MinWax’s Island Water stain!

Very pretty.  I have used some of the Minwax water based stains on baskets too.  I usually water them down a bit more to make it easier to brush on or to change the intensity of the color.
