Hi there, this stain colour is by Sikkens - Cetol 1, 078 Natural, the cedar was a clear grade so there are no knots.

This stain is a very good product however it takes three coats ,one to stain and two to seal. Then in three or four years you have to repost it again with the final coat and if it has taken a beating with sun you may have to sand it and redo the three layers again. It is a mountain of work. Done it!
