Thanks for you good tips. I am staining new beam (rough hewn cut) but there is not much about interiorbeans on you tube. Your video explained it very well. Thank you!
Looks good thanks for the tips!! The only thing is it seems that a bush could work better but im not sure. I had some workers get paint on my rough cedar and they also dented the cedar with hammers very upsetting how sloppy they were. Anyway have to figure out how to remove paint and rough up the hammer spots.
If I hadn't been concerned with color as much, I would have switched to a brush after the first big sliver. I would think paint on the beams will be tough to get off without damaging the wood. The outside of the house is cedar wood that's been painted. Would love to strip it, but several experts have told me to strip it will likely cause significant damage to the wood. Would be interested in hearing how you get the paint off your beams. Good luck with the hammer stuff too. We've had mix experience with quality contractors.
I got the paint off by using a saw blade as a scraper. And I basically scraped the dry paint off. 10-14 tooth per inch sawzall blade work pretty good. The texture was good just have match the stain.
Looks great! We have 27 rough cut ceiling beams in our house and we wanted to stain them. This video is very helpful

Great video
Did you cover the stain with any kind of sealer?
I did not. Due to the location of the wood I stained, there was no need.
What was the ratio for thinner and the stain mixture?
I diluted the stain 50%. Good luck with your project!
Thanks great info.
