Unless you have need to re-finish the woodwork in your entire house, and you are only looking for enough of this product to touch-up, re-finish, or seal some baseboard and quarter round in your new kitchen or study (that is, if you are staining oak, not engineered wood), this 8 fl. oz. can will be a fairly good supply to do the job.
Ideally, the baseboard and the quarter round are bought as unstained wood, and treated with this finish, and dried, before they are "attached" to your walls and cabinets. Beware to do the staining in an open space outdoors, so as not to bottle-up any fumes; you certainly don't want to do this in the house with children and ailing adults around; the smell can be annoying and could provoke some allergies. Remember, the already present odor may be from the new wood products just installed.
Once the unfinished wood has been treated with this stain (I've worn rubber gloves and used old socks to apply this finish), you can rub the slightly damp wood pieces with a clean but old sock, to give it a smooth and satiny finish. Voila! They are ready for the crafts person to use that power compressor to nail it to the walls and the baseboard. Result...a brand new look on your woodwork!
This product comes in several different shades of wood; choose the finish that comes close to your cabinets or floor. This review shows "Dark Walnut", but I am using "Natural", a lighter wood finish.
