General Finishes Gel Beizen, Antique Walnuss

The heavy body of this gel stain makes it almost foolproof—it stayed exactly where I brushed it instead of running into corners. I did two coats on a pine table and the antique walnut color came out deep and even with a nice hand-rubbed feel that I didn't have to work for.

Finally got around to refinishing a thrifted dresser and the heavy body of this gel stain made it so much easier to control on vertical surfaces without drips. The antique walnut color is rich without being too dark, and it really does feel like it has a built-in finish.

I've been using this on an oak table and the heavy body made it so much easier to control than runny liquid stains. The antique walnut color gives a rich, warm tone without being too dark.
