I have tried every stain colors that you regular building supply house carriers and I can't get that color that the pine furniture in the stores have.

Twescott, I have built lots of pine furniture, kitchen cabinets, and have trimmed the interior of my house with pine. I'm a bit of a purest, and like the 'oil and wax' type of finish. I use a Varathan product called "Natural Oil Finish", a wipe on, wipe off type product, quick drying (overnight) and then follow up after a week of 'curing' with a light paste wax buffing. The end results are great, but with time (and sunlight) the finish 'ages' to a beautiful golden honey color. Note: the finish will be a soft satin luster (specially if you follow up with the wax) and most important, doesn't have that 'plastic finish' look. Also, tung oil or linseed oil works well too, but the Varathan product is by far the easiest. Caution: don't 'flood' you work with the stuff. Use a rag, wipe it on, do another light finish coat 20 minutes later, and leave it to dry over night. Good luck! Jules
