Just a very newbie post of what felt like an adventure-some staining in Brisbane.
I have made a workbench and basic French cleat tool hanging area where I am trying to set up a little work area in my garage (an alcove near where car fits).
I had been watching a lot of Youtube videos and reading, and ended up buying Feast Watson timber primer and stains from Bunnings. I did not know whether they were best quality or value for money but could not find much information specific to Brisbane. I go to Carbatec for some items but they did not seem to stock much stains.
I stained the backing board Black Japan and the cleats in Walnut (base is plywood that I think is hoop pine).
Pretty happy with outcome (I intend on extending the panels to each side so it wraps around)!
Keen for any suggestions for improvement or constructive criticism! I really don't know what I'm doing although I felt this did dodge the "plywood nailed to wall" basic feel.
