Re: Yellow Pine Bed Wood - Finishing Suggestions ?

If you want the stock black stain look, there's two ways to do it.

1. Thin black porch paint with water [usually 50/50] and then coat the wood all four sides and wipe off soon after coating to produce the stain look.

2. Use deck stain in a semi-transparent black color. The deck stain is defintely the best option of the two and will last longer. This one is coat only, no wipe.

Neither one of these is a top coat like polyurethane/varnish is.
