## Description

Quickly and easily give your wood projects a beautiful, rich color with Minwax Wood Finish. This oil-based wood stain enhances the natural wood grain in just one coat and resists lapping for an even color. It’s perfect for interior wood projects such as unfinished wood furniture, cabinets, doors, trim, molding and floors, and can work on any bare or stripped wood surface. The special formula allows it to deeply penetrate wood pores within 5 minutes of application, and it dries in as little as two hours, making it possible to stain wood in just one day. To apply, just use a clean cloth or wood stain brush and apply in the direction of the grain. Wait 5-15 minutes and wipe away excess stain. The longer you wait, the darker/richer the color. Reapply coats for deeper color. Wait 4-6 hours before applying a wood sealer topcoat. Minwax is America’s leading brand of wood finishing and wood care projects. Since 1904, we have been inspiring consumers to Keep on Finishing. We offer consumers a complete line of products to meet every wood finishing need.

Review: Beautiful Warm Color That Enhances Grain — Just Prep for Cleanup - 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.
Review: Enhances Natural Grain Without Changing Wood Color - 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.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: The can says weathered oak but it is grey on the inside. Will the color change to oak once it drys**
A: When oak weathers.... it turns grey.

**Q: Do I need to apply a seal on top of the stain?**
A: Never got that far with the pint of Stain that
I received . The stain had no Brown in it for 
a Fruitwood color.  
But I would have applied a good sealer, like
Varnish or Polyurethane.

**Q: What are the steps? I’m no expert but I’m gonna try to make a coffee table. Sand, stain, then polyurethane?**
A: Sand only if needed first.  Stain the wood in one direction only and in the direction of the grain.  The directions will be on the can.  You can wipe up the excess stain with an old towel.  If you want a second coat, wait until it's dry.   Then, when it's perfectly dry, put the polyurethane or varnish (your choice) on it.  If you want a second coat of that, you can lightly sand the wood with 220 sand paper, wipe away the dust and then apply the second coat of the varnish or whatever you used.  There's gloss, matte and satin finishes.  All are nice.  It's easy.  It really is.  Have fun!  Again, the directions are on the can and easy to understand.  Oh, and wear rubber gloves!  The stain is hard to get off the skin!

**Q: would i need paint brushes or would rubbing it in with a rag work im planing on doing a diy guitar finish with it**
A: A clean cloth / rag works just the same as a foam brush and is cheaper.  You can buy tee-shirt trimmings from most stores for this purpose.   Another clean piece can be used for cleanup / wiping down the final finish to avoid excess soaking in.   I avoid paper towels on anything but a test piece since the paper towel tends to shed residue into the finish.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Stain Color. No blotches after using wood conditioner
*by J***D on December 30, 2025*

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.
