I just moved into a house a couple years ago. While I'm mostly getting used furniture, I'm slowly looking into making my own and learning to repair what's out there.
I'm really bad at staining or painting. I never feel like what I do comes out even.
Stain can be really difficult, and the real shit of it is cheap woods like pine, poplar and birch that you'd likely want to stain are the worst at it, they tend to come out blotchy. My recommendation is maybe add some tint to the top coat to steer the color in a direction you want but generally pick a wood that is the color you want already.
