I’ve had success with Vanilla 2C, but pre-color gets in done well 👍🏽. I was just lazy my own project and the red oak w/ vanilla worked out pretty nice.
Looking good, my man! Love watching this type of content, your videos are quite relaxing with your videographic style choices. That's a thumbs up from me!
Is that w/o using the Precolor Easy? I'm looking at doing the same. Tried Pure +5 on a test piece and it wasn't anything close to what he was able to get here.
Holy hell, Nick. When you were applying the finish I thought it was making a bit of a difference, but when you placed the centre section back in, the difference was dramatic! Nice find and I liked the video format. Keep up the great work. As a side note, taking red oak versus white oak cost into account, plus time and finish, I’m curious what the overall cost difference is. I’m not asking actual prices you paid, because that’s none of my business, but I’m curious percentage wise. Cheers.
I was pretty surprised by the difference too! Thanks for watching! As far as the pricing difference goes, I did have to buy the precolor for $80 but that will be able to be used on a ton of more red oak. I’d say you’d be saving a decent amount if you could get the precolor easy in the 100ml size.
¡EXCELENTE Pelicula! Muchas gracias, es la segunda fukada-jpp.monster vez que veo este gran obra del cine Western Clásico y me encanta muy buena película. Saludos desde Arenillas, República del Ecuador, Sudamérica. Graciasy y bendiciones *soludos.
I just listened to your "shop sounds" podcast episode about video production. You have great voiceovers and good ambient shop sounds! Plus, your video style is very relaxing. I bet the customer was okay with it, but it sounded like you might have been trying to trick them into thinking it was white oak! 😉 Nice tip and great video!
Hey thanks for watching and listening to the podcast! I appreciate the compliments and no I didn’t trick the client, they knew it was going to be red oak that I was going to try to make look white and they loved the final product.
White oak can be reddish or more white. Red oak can be exactly the same. The name doesn’t dictate the color. White oak has closed pores and red are open. Again the color has nothing to do with it as there are tons of species of both, but the best looking wood is definitely whiter white oak! I do like what the Rubio does to this red color, I did it to my sons bed last month.
You do realize read oak and white oak is less about the "color" than the porousness of the wood itself. Red oak is actually about the leaf color in the fall. White oak is non porous but can be red or white in tint, and read oak can be as white as white oak but you can take a small section and blow bubbles like a straw. But yes...when EITHER oak has a red tint...the Rubio White Mint can cancel out the redness.
Do you have to seal with a polyurethane afterwards?

You’re a genius!
I wouldn’t go that far, but I did stay at a holiday inn express last night.
@@KeyWoodworks you're wizard just accept it
You can call me Harry now.

Thanks man, I appreciate that.
Pretty crazy transformation! That would be fun to experiment with in some lower cost products.
It’s a good way to make red oak look decent
@@KeyWoodworks can this be stained with a penetrating wood stain when you’re done??
Came out looking amazing! Ha red oak to white oak!
Thanks Ethan!
Locking this one away for the future!
I’m gonna use this on all the red oak in the future.
This video answered my question I've had about this subject. Do you know if this method would work to make cherry less red?
In theory it should, however cherry tends to darken with age or sun exposure so that could be a factor
What a cool idea! Thanks for the content!
Thanks for watching!
@@KeyWoodworks thanks for my special delivery too! Both made it up into the garage fridge
Rubio 5% smoke gives a similar look as well
Good to know!

If you stop with the part A, can you use your own top coat to finish the piece after or are you stuck with using the part B?
The precolor is water based so after that completely dries you could use whatever top cost you want to finish it.
Awesome video! Thank you sir
Thanks for watching!!
Nice my dude 🤙🤙
Thanks bro! 🤌🏻🤌🏻

That's great. Just got a sweet dining table I'm going to try this on.
Thanks! It’s not an exact white oak look but it looks better than red oak normally does.
Bona Nordic seal. More coats=whiter wood
Sweet
I never knew!!!
Now you do!
The existential crisis for Jason and Keith: Use red oak and Rubio! The ultimate love/hate relationship. Nice work Nick!
Haha thanks!

White oak is a lot darker, but still, this looks way better than red oak!
Oh for sure, the cotton white makes it more white than normal white oak for sure.

Very clever solution, disappointed that the commission didn't involve you painting the table top black.
Haha red oak does look best black
White oak has a darker, more olive tone than red oak. White oak is not white.
