Has This Product been Changed?
I have been mixing my own stain color for the last 15 years to match aged knotty pine in my cabin. Three parts natural, one part English chestnut worked beautifully and let the wood grain show through. Now, with the cans marked "semi-transparent, Dries in two hours" it goes on VERY orange and covers the wood grain like paint. Totally ruined a project trying to match the previous mixture. And yes, I set a timer and mixed it with a paint stirrer for ten minutes. I have never wiped it off in the past and wood grain showed perfectly. No idea how I will deal this, may have to switch the entire project to paint.

    Natural
    I'm using the natural color base stain and love it. I wanted to keep my patio chairs as natural as possible also letting the grain pop through. I've been using Minwax my whole life you can't get any better.

    When in doubt, go with Tung Oil
    Every once and a while I find myself trying to apply a stain to a piece while also trying to maintain some semblance of natural color. Minwax has a few offerings I have tried. One is the Natural 209 wood finish; this is an oil stain with a slight red base. No it won't turn the piece red, but it does tip that direction as opposed to yellow. Boiled Linseed Oil is the opposite, providing a natural look with a hint of a yellow base. But when working with Minwax's Tung oil, I have seen the best and most natural results on Maple, Sande, and Birch; both solid wood and plywood applications. If you love the look of your unfinished project, Minwax Tung Oil is the best way to finish without losing the natural charm.

    Beautiful Finish!
    We recently refinished this antique dresser. After scraping, stripping, and sanding off about eight layers of paint, we discovered some gorgeous Oak wood grains. We chose to use Minwax Dark Walnut Penetrating Stain as our final refinish produt and we are so glad we did. Easy application and an absolutely beautiful finish! We can't wait to try more Minwax products!

    Amazing Wood Stains
    I purchased this stain back in 2019 when i started my business. The dark walnut shade quickly became a favorite of mine. Now i notice I'm constantly reaching for it when it comes to my choice of stain. Love this product!

    Love the look!
    This MINWAX Wood Finish penetrating stain in the Dark Walnut color worked great for my sign refurbish project. It's super easy to use with great instruction right on the can. The stain dries in 2 hours which is great to not have a project take forever. I love the way my signed looked after using this stain.

    Gorgeous Results!
    I am working on a few projects and I need an oil-based stain (Varnish). Therefore, I decided to pick up Minwax Wood Finish Penetrating Stain in Early American 230. By the way, Minwax has over 30 colors to choose from. Since it's an oil-based stain, the wood will have a sharper and deeper look along the wood grain. It is recommended to use the stain on bare wood after sanding and removing all sawdust. I sanded the wood I was going to stain and cleaned off the sawdust. Before using the stain I applied Minwax Pre-Stain to improve the appearance of the wood. I waited 15 minutes to wipe away any excess Pre-Stain left on the wood. Hint: Need a well ventilated area not in direct sunlight. I made sure to mix the stain well and grabbed my paint brush for oil-based stains. Hint: Use a smaller container to hold the stain while you work. When applying the stain, move at a slow but steady pace following the wood grain. Now, we wait 5 to 15 minutes before wiping off the excess stain with an old rag. In two hours the stain will be dry. The longer the stain stays on wood the darker it will get. I was elated to see the pieces of wood I worked on matched exactly as the color on the container. My project has the appearance of natural wood. Also, this product is made in the U.S. with global materials by The Minwax Company. #KeppOnFinishing #FinishedWithMinwax #Minwax #Reesetishas2cents #reesetisha #HonestReviewer #DIYProjects @minwaxusa @reesetisha

    So pretty!
    I love this Minwax wood finish. The color of Golden Pecan is so pretty. This wood finish goes on smooth and it doesn't take much for it to cover quite a bit of area. It doesn't take long to dry. I love Minwax products and this one is a keeper!

    Wood Stain
    Great product! When I picked this stain there was a lot of different colors to choose from. I chose mahgony and it is great color and it brings out the wood grain. With a few coats of polyurethane and it would make a beautiful wood Stain. I would recommend this.

    Wood finish
    Minwax is the best wood finish on the market you can use it for anything from handrails, window sills furniture and floors. Doesn't leave a mess and dries pretty quick. It goes a long way if you use it the right way. Will contiune to buy all minwax products.
