To stain vigas and wood doors, first ensure the surface is clean and sanded to remove any imperfections. Apply a wood stain using a brush or rag, working in the direction of the wood grain. Allow the stain to penetrate for a few minutes before wiping off the excess with a clean cloth. Finally, let the stain dry completely before applying a protective finish, such as polyurethane, for added durability.
With tree types of wood you may have to stain each one separately. All three types of wood will have different porosity and maybe a different base color of their own which will make staining the same color a challenge. Perhaps an opaque stain would work better allowing you to see the grain of the wood but have a more uniform color.
You can stain balsa wood.
Wood stain is abosorbed into the wood, so the wood takes on the color of the stain. This is why the features of the wood are still visible, unlike with paint.
Wood stain needs to be applied to something porous so it will be absorbed in. This does not include plastic. Paint will be your best option. A good paint store will help you with that faux wood look you are after. It's pretty easy to do this, so long as you use the right materials...and that you know how wood grain is actually composed. It has dark and light regions. You need some oil-based paint in the light-region color, gel stain in the dark-region color, a paintbrush and a graining tool. Paint the doors with the light paint and let it dry for a couple of days. Then apply the gel stain. Finally, use the graining tool to make the woodgrain effect--there are instructions on the back of the package. This works with other things too--steel entry doors in particular--and it looks good.
It could look blotchy depending on the type of wood and if it's a colored stain.

Remove cabinet doors and hardware. Sand cabinets to remove old finish. Apply wood conditioner to even out stain absorption. Apply stain with a brush or cloth, following wood grain. Wipe off excess stain and let dry. Apply a clear coat of polyurethane for protection. Reattach doors and hardware.

If you have solid wood doors, first strip your door down to the bare wood. Next sand your door with 120-150 grit sand paper with the grain of the wood. Now you can stain your door with a custom color stain if you choose. Last put some sort of a finish on your door after your stain has dried completely. Any part or all of this work can be done for you at a reputable furniture refinishing shop.

To make cabinet doors using wood, you can start by measuring and cutting the wood to the desired size for the door panels. Next, assemble the panels using wood glue and clamps. Add trim pieces for decoration and reinforcement. Finally, sand the doors smooth and finish with paint or stain for a polished look.

To create DIY barn doors for a closet, you will need to measure the closet opening, choose the type of wood for the doors, cut the wood to size, assemble the doors using a sliding door hardware kit, and install them on a track above the closet opening. You can customize the doors with paint or stain to match your decor.
Wood stain is for sealing and emphasising the natural colour of wood
