Smoked Reed Hint: Customer Celia Nunnelley says that Sherwin Williams' "Weathered Teak" Wood Classics stain is the stain to buy if you want your hoops to match your smoked reed. She says that if you brush it onto your hoops and rub it off immediately it's an almost perfect match.  Thanks, Celia!

By the way: Smoked Reed used to actually be "smoked" to achieve this color. Today, however, the process is achieved by dyeing.
