After much research, I chose to stain our rough cut redwood fence with restore-a-deck natural. It turned the wood a uniform tan/orange color. We were hoping to keep the unique color of each board, perhaps deepening and pulling the grain out
Can you recommend a stain that will retain the natural redwood color?
It is normal for the RAD Natural stain to enhance the wood grain. All tinted stains will do this. It is not possible to maintain natural colors with a clear as clears have 0 UV protection from graying.
