You want to take softwood cuttings, harvested in the spring when the new shoots are about three inches long. Cut at a 45-degree angle for best results. Put a little rooting hormone on the cut end and put each cutting in its own pot filled with rich potting soil, or ideally a rooting ...
The wood fibers soak up stain in the same way they used to take in water. I realized that I could have the most perfect tape seal in the history of tape seals, but the moment that stain penetrated the tiniest bit below the surface of the wood, capillary action would draw some of it...
