What are the best techniques for applying an indigo wood stain to achieve a rich and even finish on my furniture?

To achieve a rich and even finish when applying an indigo wood stain to furniture, it is best to first sand the wood surface thoroughly to ensure smoothness. Apply the stain in thin, even coats using a brush or cloth, following the wood grain. Allow each coat to dry completely before applying the next one. Finally, finish with a clear topcoat to protect the stain and enhance the richness of the color.
