  • Beautiful Warm Color That Enhances Grain — Just Prep for Cleanup
Size: 0.25 Gallon Color: Golden Pecan
Minwax Golden Pecan is a really nice, warm wood stain that brings out the natural grain without making the wood look too dark or heavy. The color leans lighter and more golden than many traditional stains, which works especially well if you want a bright, clean look that still adds richness. Application is straightforward. It goes on smoothly with either a cloth or brush and penetrates quickly. Wiping off the excess is easy, and the final color can be adjusted by how long you let it sit before wiping. Dry time is reasonable for an oil-based stain, making it practical for multi-day projects. One thing to be aware of is cleanup — since this is oil-based, it can be a pain to clean off brushes and tools. Make sure you have the proper cleaner or mineral spirits on hand before you start, especially if you’re using quality brushes you want to reuse. Overall, this is a dependable stain with consistent results and a classic finish. It’s a great option for shelves, trim, furniture, or other interior wood projects where you want warmth without overpowering the natural wood tone. ... show more

  • Good Results !
Size: 0.25 Gallon Color: Ipswich Pine
I’ve got good results in staining my brand new pine wood door. I followed Minwax recommendations exactly: pre-stain, stain, and top-coat. I paid attention to the stirring, sanding and timing instructions at each stage. I used three very high quality sponge applicators, one for each stage of the process. The net result was a very good looking stain and a hard protective coating, and nothing oily, sticky, or smelly. I wanted to use oil base (instead of water base) for my glass and pine bathroom door because oil repels water (and humidity), and I wanted to prevent any warping of the door, even one millimeter. I highly recommend this product. ... show more

  • Enhances Natural Grain Without Changing Wood Color
Size: 0.25 Gallon Color: Natural
I like this product almost as much as Minwax pre-stain wood conditioner. In many ways, it serves a similar purpose by enhancing and evening out the natural grain rather than dramatically changing the wood’s color. It’s an excellent choice when you want the wood to look natural, clean, and finished while still showcasing the character of the grain. I use it when I want a subtle, understated finish that lets the wood speak for itself instead of overpowering it. Great product for anyone who prefers a natural wood appearance over darker stains. ... show more

  • Great Stain Color. No blotches after using wood conditioner
Size: 0.0625 Gallon Color: Early American
One of my favorite stains! This is by far my favorite color stain. For this table I used construction lumber Fir, sanded 80 > 120 > 220 then applied Minwax wood conditioner and Early American stain and finally 3 coats of Minwax poly following the instructions on each can. I applied using foam paint brushes the product to work perfectly as expected without blotches or light spots. For those that are unfamiliar, this stain is extremely runny - like water, so work on a piece of scrap board or art table if possible. ... show more

  • Thin stain but looks great when dried.
Size: 0.25 Gallon Color: Simply White
Product is good and I like the end result of the white stain, it appears lighter when dried but looks like white paint when it goes on to the wood. Overall look is good once dried. Can arrived damaged but the stain was without any issues from the dented can just had to put into a new container. Very thin consistency but goes on nicely. ... show more

  • Dark Walnut Stain love it!
Size: 0.25 Gallon Color: Dark Walnut
LOVE this stain! Matches the color as advertised, I was staining my cats outside perch from a cheap looking wood to a more expensive looking dark color. LOVEEE how it turned out! Very tedious but worth it. It was my first time diy w stain so I was a bit nervous. I used a 200 grit sander sanded well on both sides and edges, felt smooth. Applied Wood conditioner let it sit 18 mins. Applied the Dark Walnut stain color for an hour and a half came out PERFECT I love it. Had to wait a bit longer since it was such a light wood color but I’m super happy with how it turned out. Hope this helps someone!

  • It does what you’re asking for. Black is Black
Size: 0.0625 Gallon Color: True Black
I have no complaints. Remember to sand down any new boards before staining . When they say black they mean black. I used it on a kick plate for a retail counter , it still showed the wood grains but looked very nice against the pine counter.it was very easy to apply I was amazed how guickly it soaked in dries fairly quickly and the coverage is as hoped Any overspill was easily cleanable ... show more

  • Nice Minwax wood stain!
Size: 0.0625 Gallon Color: Natural
Great product at a fair price. Easy to apply and not too bad in terms of odor and fumes. I mix natural stain color with a little Raw Sienna oil paint to give it a bit of a rustic tint. Takes awhile to dry
