I'm *consulting on the construction of a truss tube Dob and the rocker
box is nearing completion. Ideally, it will be stained with a
water-based but water-resistant clear stain that lets the beauty of the
wood show through with zero or minimal color/tint added.


Oil based Urethane will leave a yellow tint to the wood. Water base
will be practially clear. For exterior durability use a Spar type
Urethane. To keep color stain from blotching, use Minwax Wood
Conditioner before staining.
