Coping with Grain Reversal
When coloring softwoods such as pine, "grain reversal" can be very frustrating and very hard to deal with. Grain reversal is when the softer areas of the wood grain being stained absorbs more color than the harder areas of the grain. Grain reversal occurs most often on soft woods and to a much lesser extent, on harder woods because of the different absorption rates and densities of the two types of woods. When this happens there are very distinct differences of color and blending these areas together can be difficult.
