Can you stain burch wood

Yes, you can stain birch wood. However, due to its fine grain and tendency to absorb stain unevenly, it’s important to use a pre-stain wood conditioner to achieve a more uniform finish. Choosing the right stain type, such as oil-based or gel stain, can also help enhance the wood's natural beauty while minimizing blotching. Always test the stain on a scrap piece of birch first to ensure you achieve the desired color.
