Are the samples real stain or printed color charts?

The fan deck features actual production stain applied to natural wood samples, not printed color charts. This provides a much more accurate representation of how the stain will look on real wood surfaces.

Why is a fan deck better than a printed color chart?

• It shows how stain interacts with wood grain
• It reflects true color depth and tone

This helps eliminate guesswork when choosing a wood stain color.
