Newton's Ebony Wood Stain is as dark and dramatic as we can make it — a deep, rich black penetrating stain that lets the natural wood grain show through. Water-based, low odour, and NZ-made.
Why You'll Love It
- Deep Ebony black finish — grain still shows through for a natural look
- Penetrating formula with high UV protection
- Excellent water repellent properties
- Contains anti-mould additive
- Water-based, low odour — easy clean-up with water
- No waxing or sealing required (seal with high-gloss varnish for a sleek finish)
- Suitable for interior and exterior use
Perfect For
- Furniture, cabinets, particle board & doors
- Decking, fencing & pergolas
- Mouldings, trims & upcycling projects
Upcycling Ideas
Apply Ebony as a bold base coat, let dry, then dry-brush Newton's Chalk Paint lightly over the top. Sand back edges for a worn, vintage look. Layer multiple stain and chalk paint colours for striking results — the possibilities are endless!
Application
Apply with a cloth, brush, roller or foam applicator. Note: Any previous varnishes or finishes must be sanded off first to allow the stain to absorb into the timber.
- Coverage: 4–12m² per litre (depending on timber porosity)
- Dry time: 2–3 hours
- Low sheen finish
- No thinning required — clean up with water while wet
