Wood Tux on a red mahogany deck

[RPetry]

Big kudos to ESI, their WT stain does look terrific when first applied to hardwoods.

Deck is red mahogany, stained last spring with some water based garbage by some painting co. Got a call three weeks later to take a look. Asked the customer to wait a year, and called in March. Booked the job this spring, partially based on a WoodZotic job picture we did on ipe' last year. Finished staining on Friday morning.

Maybe the third time is a charm. We will see, this job is about 600 yards from my home as the crow flies.

Beautiful deck!..what color is that stain?

[RPetry]

Kevin,

It is the old WoodZotic mix, or close to it. 50% western cedar, 50% brown sugar.

Beth,

Thanks. Good wood does most of the final look. But the real question is...

1. How long will the stain last?

And more important...

2. How easy is it to maintain?

[MMI Enterprises]

.always a good looking mix, and easy ratios too. Gotta do it someday!!

ps- ya mean western Red cedar?

[Rob R.]

great job! I think that customer will be calling you only for the life of that deck

Does anyone ever get asked about the color differentiation between the boards when using wood tux. I have noticed this mostly using their brown sugar mix, I think it looks attractive but I am waiting for the day I have to explain it and honestly I am not really sure how to explain it...

Rafal,

It is not the WoodTux stain, it is the wood. This is red mahogany. Most hardwoods show variation in natural grain and coloration.
