I pretty much work with clear coating.. Most of my clients prefer it, and if
they think they don't I convince them..
But I do have a cherry dining table to do that will need to be stained.. I
know cherry is known for blotchiness..
One solution is a pre stain treatment, and the other is gel stain..
I also will be spraying a clear coat of catalyzed varnish, which I prefer
not to color...
So just checking to see what folks here have done..
