Near-north Ontario, French River | Currently working on my first project, a king size bed frame, made of black walnut , and constructed using mortise and tenon joinery. I intend to put two coats of stain on MOST the surfaces before assembly. My question is,, on some of the components , specifically the corner posts I'd like to apply the second coat to some of the surfaces after assembly . The thinking being that the second coat on the posts will help hide/cover any marring that takes place when assembling and pinning the joints. Will applying the second coat, on the different faces, at different times leave visible 'zones' on the pieces... what if I get a little bit of overlap? Just using walnut oil stain , so I think i will be ok, or is it best to put the second coat on all at once after assembly?
