"Here’s just one example. There’s only about 3 natural stain companies on the market that are clean stains. But this one here, the velvet oil, is actually like a, it’s a soybean base and you don’t have to use a varnish or anything to coat it. It actually leaves a little bit of a residue that feels real soft and your wood is left natural feeling and it comes in a pretty good choice of colors so you can pretty much do what you need to do with it without having to add the toxic varnishes and stuff to finish your wood naturally. So the stains, I would just look to also, you want to keep an eye on the VOC level on your paint can and varnishes and stains are going to be a little higher VOCs, but staying again under 100 if possible is optimum."
