Use pre-stain conditioners if you're going to stain the wood. The benefit of using a conditioner is that it will help the stain to go on evenly, ensuring the best results possible. This is because the conditioners allow stains to penetrate evenly.

Before using any new tool, do your research on it in full. New tools can mean serious injuries for those that use them incorrectly. Even if you're pretty sure of how to use it, don't risk it. Study up via the web and books related to the tool in question.

When using stains, a great product choice is gel. Stains that are liquid will run when you apply them, but gels tend to stick to lumber. Also, gel stains are thick and their pigment stays consistent.

If you have a high skill level when it comes to woodworking you may want to think about taking some time to share your knowledge with others. You can keep it simple by recording what you do step-by-step or you could take it to a higher level and teach a class.
