The strands on the surface do not always absorb the stain evenly, so a rustic, mosaic finish may result. If a completely even tone is desired, apply a filling primer before staining (e.g. from Milesi). It is recommended to use solvent-based stains and paints as water-based products can cause the material to stretch and blister or deform.
