Staining Red Pine - help please
Hi, I have red pine doors that have been professionally stripped. They are a beautiful red colour and I have heard that you should use a water based (not spirit based) stain. Apparently the spirit stain makes the wood go much darker?
Any ideas ?

Why do you want to stain red pine?
It has a beautiful colour as it is?

Yes, that's what I meant mainly, but the rest of the wood has a very light stain and when I was trying to match up a skirting board it was really difficult.

Matching is really a job for professionals.
I've not played with red pine but pine in general takes spirit stains unevenly.
See Neil's bible for everything you need to know.Cheers, Ern
