Pine is a strong and durable wood for many different woodworking projects like desks, cupboards, tables, cabinetry, and many more.Unless it got really wet and is now extremely rough, I would not sand it until after you apply poly at the end so you don’t remove any of the finish. We learned what to look for in a pine stain, what to avoid and how pine stain needs differ between projects. This oil-based stain is easy to apply, penetrates well into the wood, and greatly enhances the pine’s natural grain. A. Wood Stain is designed to penetrate into the wood and so the longer you leave it on the more it will soak in and the darker the wood will become. Transparent stains showcase the wood’s grain and texture for a rustic look, while solid or opaque stains completely cover the grain for a uniform color.

I highly recommend testing your colors on some scrap wood, and I’ve found the best colors by layering different stains.

Plus, sand along the direction of the wood grain without scratching the surface because a scratched surface cause for resulting blotchy surface. After cleaning the wood, sand the whole Pine wood surface with 80 grit, 120 grit, and 220 grit sandpapers gradually without missing any spots.

Cloth: A clean, lint-free cloth can be used to apply the stain in a circular motion, followed by a quick wipe in the direction of the wood grain.

This is thanks to the fact that pressure-treated wood can resist the onset of decay fungi and withstand the elements. I almost always use a water-based poly even though I use oil-based stains and I never have an issue. To enhance the natural Pine wood color, better stick with General Finishes New Pine oil-based gel stain.
