Hi Kristi. I for what its worth, absolutely hate pine. But I know that your table will turn out nice and I will like it because every project you have done has turned out really well. But I still hate pine. It’s so soft and gets dented and is full of ugly knotholes ….. Apply pre-stain conditioner to the wood with a sponge brush. Pre-stain conditioner helps the stain spread evenly so you’re less likely to get blotches and wood grain reversal. Dip your sponge brush into the conditioner, and spread it over every exposed area of the piece of wood. Make sure the entire piece of pine has an even coat of the conditioner.

When it was dry, I added a coat of Minwax Polyurethane. I love how the wax settled in the low places and gave it an aged look. Another way I’ve found to deal with stain and getting just the right color is to make and use a wood toner. This post from pneumatic addict on how to make your own wood toner is great. You can make either oil based or water based. Applying a clear topcoat will help to protect your wood project from fading and damage over time! The best stain colors for pine

By applying this solution on pine wood first, you’ll get naturally darker, deep colors as a base to stain on. To upgrade this solution and create even more spectacularly saturated nuances, add 2 tablespoons of coffee grounds to the solution before you seal the jar. If you are using the steel wool and vinegar solution, you want to apply it 1 day before you proceed with priming and staining. If not, you can get straight to priming. Let the primer dry out (it typically takes less than 30 minutes). I actually really liked the effect of the Annie Sloan Dark Wax on all three samples. I love the way it settles into the low places and gives it a nice aged look, but I prefer the more subtle look of the last one. That’s a lovely finish on pine. I’m sure you noticed they were using a water-based pre-conditioner and dye rather than an oil-based pre-conditioner and stain and they still evened color further with glaze. The shellac wash after the dye was likely to keep the glaze and dye from bleeding together.It reminds me a lot of our wall paint color – Sherwin Williams Agreeable Gray– but in a transparent form. Working with pinewood is easy, as well as affordable. However, the hardest part comes when you are trying to figure out how to stain pine wood. That’s for a couple of reasons.

This is my favorite, and it was a four-step process. First, I used some homemade vinegar stain on the wood to cut the yellow/orange color of the pine. The homemade vinegar stain was about two cups of white vinegar, two “000” steel wool pads, and two tablespoons of coffee grounds. I only let the vinegar solution set for about three hours before using it. After the vinegar solution, I used the Annie Sloan Dark Wax, and then followed up with a very thin coat of Minwax Special Walnut. And I finished with a coat of Minwax Polyurethane.

Brush 2 layers of polyurethane clear coat onto the pine. Stir your polyurethane to make sure it’s properly mixed. Dip a bristle brush into the clear coat and apply the polyurethane in a thin layer using long, broad strokes. Make sure you coat the entire surface of the wood to seal it. Give the polyurethane a day to dry completely before applying a second coat. [16] X Research source
