Great coverage and dries quickly.

Awesome stain. Did a perfect job. See the video For the color

The directions say to wipe when done. It should have said to wipe it all off. I had left too much on which would have caused problems after a top coat. It was tacky without the top coat. I called Minwax and the helpful customer service rep said to take off the excess with mineral spirits and wait 24 hours. Did not have to restain! Beautiful with top coat!

Purchased this in Jacobean for our pinewood guardrail and handrail upstairs. It has a nice neutral brown tone that wasn't too dark. I applied one coat with a foam brush and let it sit for just a couple minutes before wiping off to achieve the color I wanted. Easy to apply and goes great with the wrought iron balusters to give that rustic look. Odor wasn't too terrible either.

Ordered this product to refinish a Mosin Nagant M44 stock for my Chinese Type 53 rifle project. The Stock is made of Arctic Birch, a very hard wood to work, but also very strong and lightweight. It orignally sported that nasty red Soviet shellac that is common with all Mosins, and Frankly, i was getting tired of it flaking off. I wanted to have a nice brown, that would have the residual red stain bleed through the wood to give it a unique color, so I chose Jacobean. My monitor is fairly high quality in the color department, so I figured that this shade would be the best for my project, and boy was it.After sanding off the original finish and sanding smooth some of the bigger wear marks(I didn't want them all gone. I wanted to show its age, but I didn't want any glaring defects), I …

I spent a while hunting for the perfect stain color for a few items I was making for around the house. I wanted something darker than my hardwood floors, yet neutral, and without being so dark that it might possibly look out of place. To give you an idea, my floors are close to a what I would call a pecan colored stain, with my furniture being close to Minwax Provincial and kitchen cabinets close to Minwax Red Chestnut. Since I wanted to use this on items both in my living room and kitchen, it was important to me to find a shade that would work well with all the colors without matching any too closely.I had narrowed it down to Jacobean, Dark Walnut and Special Walnut and decided fairly quick that Special Walnut would be too light for me, which left me down to the two that were hardest to …

I've tried a great range of minwax stain colors, and the two I go back to over and over again are the Jacobean and the Red Mahogany. The Jacobean is, to me, exactly the color of deep, rich brown that I want wood to be, and it will penetrate down to an evenly warm tone even in really light woods like poplar; and all you need is one or two more coats. It's a good stain, wipes up well, doesn't drip, and penetrates evenly. You just have to be vigilant of glue drips because I haven't met a stain that looks good on glue, even so-called "stainable" glue. That being said, this one penetrates into glue much better than lighter colors, and I've found the end result to be more than passable. You get it on your fingers, and you're stained for days though.
