This futon frame is made with Tulip Poplar. Any green tint in the wood will change to light brown in a few weeks.
This will happen in 20 to 30 minutes if placed in direct sunlight. Tulip Poplar can be left unfinished, clear finished,
stained, or painted. I prefer the lighter stains over the darker ones because the wood is fairly porous. My favorite
is a clear finish with no stain. Satin polyurethane (oil or water based) works well.
Painting: It is best to start with an interior primer and lightly sand before painting.
Staining: Lightly sand before staining. Wipe stain on with a rag until you get the desired color. If you are going to
use a top coat (such as polyurethane), do not sand again until after the first coat, and then be careful not to sand
away the stain.
Finishing: All finishes work well with Tulip Poplar. A simple wax finish over stain (Minwax for example) is easy. An
oil finish such as Danish oil can be used. Or a clear top coat such as polyurethane works well to seal the wood.
With polyurethanes, the first coat acts as a sanding sealer. So you should lighty sand (180 - 220 grit sandpaper)
after the first coat, wipe the wood clean, and then build up coats for the desired effect.
